Cliché

Rating: 4/10 (13 December 2013)

My hopes for this movie were really high, because of the high score it got on IMDb and the many lists this movie appeared on.
In the beginning of the movie, I was really glad. Christian Bales character was a wealthy businessmen who's psychopathic side was hidden for his environment. But then the killing began and I was really disappointed!! Again psychopaths are shown as cold blooded murderers! But not all psychopaths are murderers! When I started to watch this movie I was hoping I was going to see a businessman psychopath. A person who manipulates everybody around him without having any empathy towards them. But not a person who kills almost everybody he meets.
A movie about an other kind of psychopath I would enjoy much more, I have it really hard with the cliché popular media idea of what psychopaths are. Showing a different kind of psychopath to the people would be a plus for the society.
Conclusion: a really cliché movie about a psychopath
