Good for Drama/buildup,

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2009)

I didn't really know what to expect while watching this movie. I figured on it being about a businessman who secretly kills people based on looking at the DVD cover. Well, I was right. But American Psycho was different than most horror movies. This one actually had character development. I suppose one could say it's a slasher film with a story.
Patrick Bateman is a business man who lives almost a perfect life. He eats healthy, works out and keeps up with his apartment. But there's something that controls him. His urge to kill. It was never said why he killed but with the narration and Christian Bale's facial reactions; I believe it's up for you to judge.
This movie is good for some quotes. It also has great acting and story. The deaths weren't all to predictable. But you pretty much knew who was next. The ending also leaves you questioning. But I'm sure you'll figure it out after several viewings.
I give it a 7/10.
