This is truly excellent

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2015)

One of my favourite films ever. I'm coming back to review this more out of respect than anything else as I really enjoyed this film. It's a crazed, cynical look inside the mind of a seemingly regular member of the City elite and shows just how depraved human beings can be if we strip back the societal construct. More importantly, it's actually really funny in a lot of parts as well and overall a lot of fun to watch. Christian Bale was born to play this role in my opinion. He 'is' American Psycho and does it so well. This and Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and you've got four of the films in my top ten. The dialogue is brilliant, it's shot incredibly well and although I have to admit to having never read the book (and in a way don't want to now for fear of changing the 'feel' of it) I can say that everyone should try this film. Sheer excellence.
