Deep

Rating: 10/10 (13 April 2000)

American Psycho is not a movie that most people will even begin to understand on the first try. It goes beyond a satire of a limited range of 1980's yuppy culture, it is an evaluation of American society as a whole. Pay careful attention to the movie's ending and ask what it means. The meaning is definitely there, but I won't explain it for you, even though it's subtle, I would rather people understood it on their own. A casual movie goer looking for an exciting thriller will be horribly disappointed, especially by the ending. However, if you want to see something that combines the best aspects of "Fight Club," "American Beauty" and "Natural Born Killers," this movie is a must-see. A 10.
