"American Psycho" is one of the absolute greatest films that I've seen recently. It includes almost all of my favorite things that can be included in a film. There's a good soundtrack, dark comedy, satire, disturbing dramatic elements, and some EXCELLENT performances.
While I, of course, love the direction, script, dialogue, etc., Christian Bale's performance may be the absolute highlight of the film. At times, he's really hilarious (in a very odd way), and, at others, he is terrifying. There's some scenes that come across really chilling,solely because of his amazing and threatening performance. This is, without a doubt, the greatest Bale performance of all time. Sure, his performance as Batman is more popular, but, come on! Here, he manages to perfectly capture the film's tone using hilarity and horror, while with Batman he just makes that annoying, weird voice. Sure, Batman has to hide the fact that he's actually Bruce Wayne, but could you choose a better, less silly and over the top voice?
All Batman rants aside, this is one truly excellent film that really impressed me on every possible level.
