American Psycho: A Sharp Satire

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2011)

I loved American Psycho. Simply putting it, it is one of the greatest comedies of all time. That is how I see it, anyway. American Psycho is a sharp satire of the 1980's and a damn good film.
Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) is a yuppie 80's business executive with a cold blooded urge to kill for no reason. That's the plot in a nut shell, but the film is so complex, especially in it's portrayal of the main character.
Patrick Bateman is brilliantly portrayed by Christian Bale, in a knock out performance. A true tour de force and he is probably the main reason to see this film.
American Psycho is recommended for horror, black comedy or thought provoking film fans.
