This movie makes me want to get a business card with a watermark.

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2007)

American Psycho is way better than Psycho.
Alfred Hitchcock passed on American Psycho in favor of Psycho because American Psycho was too American for him. Being British he couldn't handle the Americanism of the subject matter.
Originally Patrick was to be Norman's Father. But given the 40 year window of their release dates; it's now Norman who is Patrick's father. Which probably works better; like Luke in Starwars the force is stronger in Patrick and he becomes a better psycho than his father. BUT both the bates are good its just Patrick is the better bate's man.
American Psycho is the must see film of the decade. I haven't seen a better constructed; intellectually executed slasher film since before the genre was incepted. The scene where Patrick introduces himself to an unemployed homeless black man named Al and tells him to get a job before stabbing him to death became an instant; all-time-classic.
