Corporate America satire at its best

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2002)

American Psycho has become my favorite movie of all time. The layers of satire and irony are so brilliantly put together they mesmerize the mind. I would not list this movie under the horror section and I think that it's name in a way does it a horrible injustice. I was hesitant to watch it because I thought that it was going to be a cheezy horror flick when it was anything but. It's an intelligent commentary on corporate America in the 1980s, about the modern Manhattan buoguesie (spelling?). Also I think Christian Bale captures pure Americaness because he's able to see us from an objective point of view. Seeing this movie may make you rethink your values and priorities in life. If you liked movies such as Fight Club, Quills, Happiness, and Welcome to the Dollhouse I think you'd most likely like this movie too.
