Darkly hilarious

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2000)

American Psycho is one of those movies that makes you feel guilty to be laughing along with it. The humour is very dark and gruesome. It is a somewhat surreal experience to be laughing along with a theatre full of people at scenes of horrifying depravity and violence. Yet this movie accomplishes just that, and does it very well. Christian Bale is magnificent in this film; he deserves at least an Oscar nod.
