Either you loathe it, or you adore it

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2001)

A review about American Psycho is certainly a very difficult matter. I have to admit, I like this movie. Of course it's not of the kind you can watch in the evining for a relaxing pleasure, you should reflect on it. To be precise, you are even forced to think about it after watching. Patrick Batmans nightly scouring, his unleashed cruelty and his increasing hideous crimes become a voyage in its mad psyche, a switchback into a poor man's mind .
I honestly can understand anyone detesting American Psycho, but I can't concur. Calling it a Movie about cruelty and mutilation would be too superficial. The more you think about it, the more you understand it. It's not a movie which I would suggest my mother to go in, but if you are interested in good motion pictures, if you really are engaged in movie art, you just have to know American Psycho :-)
