Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2015)

Dark, funny, clever and mind-bending. American Psycho shifts between the first and third person perspective of Patrick Bateman's yuppie-defined life. Our introduction to Patrick Bateman gives us a perfect insight into his life and mindset. We can tell how he has a healthy lifestyle, is wealthy and takes care of his skin. Yet we are also given the impression that he is callous and simply 'not there'. From killing women to comparing business cards, this movie doesn't fail to surprise. By the end of the film, you are left questioning whether any of Patrick Bateman's endeavours actually occur or if it was all just in his imagination. It is up put to the viewer to decide. A dark-comedy classic novel, told brilliantly 10/10.
