Nice concept, bad movie

Rating: 6/10 (6 April 2006)

The movie itself is not very good. The story is very interesting, showing a successful businessman who leads a different live with several excesses at night. Too bad the movie has been made without real passion.
In my opinion, American Psycho can be considered as a story with a message. It gives a vision on the American (or more common, the Western) culture. Bateman represents the society. He is superficial, selfish, cold-hearted and lets other people die (and even enjoys it). It's a symbol for a society which destructs others and eventually itself.
The story makes you face it. Just have a look in the mirror.
