Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2001)

American Psycho is a brilliant satire from Master Director Mary Harron. This proves that females are more than able to make great works of art in this medium. An eeie adaptation to an inferior novel. This was the best movie of the year 2000 and should have garnered an Oscar at the biased academy awards. This film wins points in the indy world for it's hard-edged in-your-face filmmaking and dazzling cinematography (by Andrzej Sekula). Not to mention a wonderfully detailed and un-apologetic screenplay from Ms Harron and Gueniviere Turner. This film gives hope to the lovers on Cinema and proves that meaningful breakthrough work can still be created. Last but not least the performance from Christian Bale was quite amazing in a world of no-talent hollywood hacks. Patrick Bateman for president!
