American Psycho

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2005)

I think the film did OK. Even though on the DVD and VHS covers give a Warning label, I don't think it was THAT graphic. I've seen others that should have had the Warning label. Since Christian Bale is my favorite actor, I can't say bad about him. I like his character and I think he looks SO DARN HANDSOME in business suits. And JUST business suits. I find the movie interesting because this was the first time I saw a movie that was from the "villian's" point-of-view and how he sees the environment surrounding him. And I think that was just brilliant and something different. Although, I became I bit rebellious that the fact Patrick Bateman was ignorant and sexually aggressive towards the women he fools around him. What about the prostitutes and the woman tied up on his bed yelling while Patrick is doing sit-ups? And the revolting blood stain on his pillow sheet at the cleaners. But I suppose that was all part of the story. It's a very realistic movie. Who knows? There may be perfect looking men out there with some mental problems out there who go through the same situations like Patrick Bateman. However, my favorite part was when Patrick and his business buddies fumble over business cards. I thought that was just ridiculously hilarious. I guess he doesn't want anyone to get the best of him, but SERIOUSLY, who on EARTH would make such a competition over business cards. Like the clients would notice the "impressive details" and the "watermarks". Overall, the movie is good. It kept me and my pals at the edge of our seats. But I still can't believe Patrick Bateman ACTUALLY had the guts to confess his murders and yet his lawyer or business partner, whoever he was, didn't believe him the next day.
