a vote of loyalty

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2006)

if this movie were not based on a book that i have such a fierce connection to it would receive a vote of 2. unfortunately, not only do i feel the need to support anything with the 'a.p.' tag on it, except for the sequel, but it has Christian bale and reese witherspoon delivering great performances. what bothered me most was the lack of attention this movie payed to its source material. outside of the basic premise, 'american psycho' the movie had very little to do with 'american psycho' the book. it wasn't even the cerebral inner-dialog missing from the movie either, basic plot elements and key scenes were either altered or omitted altogether.
