Not A Good Movie

Rating: 5/10 (7 August 2000)

American Psycho contains so many elements, it is so hard to categorize it. Yes, there are some erotic scenes but I would not call it erotic, there is violence and blood but I would not call it scary, there are some funny moments but I again would not call it funny. Now you may say "do we have to categorize it?" Of course, not. But all those elements are so disconnected from one another that they seem out of place. A good-looking killer without a motive. And I still do not know why I was not scared even a bit by the murder scenes. He likes 80s music specially Phil Collins, Huey Lewis and the news. Unfortunately, all these things fail to come together to make meaningful whole. Was the purpose of the movie to create an irony by trying to make a picture with all these irrelevant traits? And what about the final? What conclusion was I supposed to draw from the last conversation he had with his attorney? Did I miss something? Not a good movie.
