Review of American Psycho

Rating: 5/10 (9 February 2010)

I had been looking forward to seeing this for a long time and I've got to say that after finally seeing it, I was a bit disappointed. It's not that it was a bad movie. It just wasn't what I expected it to be. I thought the film would be right up my alley, but instead it was just way too out there and weird for my tastes. Not to mention the ending completely baffled me. There are some good answers for any questions I may have had when the film was over, but when I was trying to piece things together, there always seemed to be something that totally foiled whatever theory I was going with. Perhaps, this is the whole idea behind the film. It's possible that the filmmakers wanted to leave the ending open to interpretation and that's not necessarily a bad thing. In the end, I'll say that I thought it was good, just not as good as I had hoped. I wouldn't purchase this myself, as this is not a film I could ever see myself watching again, but I have no problem referring this as a rental to anyone who isn't squeamish and easily weirded out.
