An Open Ended Cult Classic

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2012)

American Psycho– CATCH IT (A-) American Psycho is a cult phenomena and I have been hearing about this movie since its release but somehow never been able to watch it until now. The American Psycho revolves around a wealthy New York investment banking executive hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he escalates deeper into his illogical, gratuitous fantasies. American Psycho goes deep into the mind of human psychology and deals with the pressure of society to be perfect. The direction and writing of the movie is spectacular and it's brilliant to see that it's directed by a woman. That's why the all sexual and killing parts are more ecstatic than gross. Don't take me wrong defiantly killing someone with chainsaw is gross but it's not shot chainsaw massacre sort of gross. The movie is great till the final act where it leaves you tangling between what's real and what's not. Christian Bale is super as American Psycho caught between living perfect life and his darkest desires. There is sense of believe in everything he does and this whole attire, his physique was close to perfection. Reese Witherspoon, Chloe Sevigny, Justin Theroux, Josh Lucas and Jared Leto were good their parts but on the whole it was a one man show. American Psycho is a cult classic and if you like movies with open ending. Watch it!
