One of the Best

Rating: 10/10 (17 April 2004)

I saw American Psycho 4 times at the theaters. Few movies make it in to my 4 timers. There are some people out there that go and see movies 10 times or a hundred times, but that's a waste of money, just buy it when it's released for home systems! This movie is about Patrick Bateman, a rich, good looking, yuppie with a secure job, and a perfect life. Unfortunately Patrick is completely mad. This film based on the book American Psycho was a breath of fresh air when it was released. There were a lot of movies coming out that just seemed like products, and really had no substance. Although a lot of people didn't understand the movie, and expected something much different. What you need to understand is this movie is a dark comedy, and the things in the movie are not to be taken seriously. I even got scolded for laughing at parts while in the theater. The only thing that could ruin a great movie like this is if you made a sequel...oh, they did that. One of the great things about this movie is you can talk to people about what you think happened, whether he dreams everything, or it really happened. American Psycho 2, which is not written by the Author who wrote American Psycho the book, pretty much just shoved their opinion of what happened. So if you are going to see part 1, there is no need to see part 2. I can watch this movie over and over and never get sick of it.
