Enthralling central performance and dark humour.

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2018)

8.5 for clarification.
Christian Bale delivers an enthralling central performance as narcissistic psychopath and stockbroker Patrick Bateman. This may well be due to the fact that Bale occupies virtually every scene in the film and brings a wonderfully heightened sense of realism to the picture. Leto also delivers an impressive performance.
American Psycho is abundant with hilarious dark humour, spearheaded by Bale.
The film hosts some exceptional scenes, in particular "Huey Lewis and The News" and a commendably thought provoking ending.
