A character study like no other

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2017)

Where do I start with American Psycho. This film is a classic and should be remember for solely for the character of Patrick Bateman. Christian Bale gives one of the best performances I have ever seen. He grabs your attention and sucks you in to this universe. His line delivery is fantastic and while the magnificent screenplay helps, Bale instantly makes the character his own and commands the screen, despite other strong performances. The direction and cinematography are great, but clearly the focus of the film goes to the riveting Patrick Bateman. Every line that Bale says becomes iconic and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Overall American Psycho is masterful character study with strong, performances direction, cinematography and a flawless script. Bale delivers a performance that might upset some people based on how distributing he can be, but if look hard enough, you will see that American Psycho is a movie like no other.
