A nice little adaptation...

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2000)

Taking into consideration the novel's high dependence on often shockingly violent content, the like doubtful to ever be repeated again, the director has no doubt pulled off a minor miracle in adapting AMERICAN PSYCHO onto the big screen. Aspects of the book's distinctive anti-corporal views and mind-blowing ultra-violence are pleasingly incorporated into this movie adaptation, although both are toned down several distinctive notches in certain instances. What we are left with is an intelligent, well scripted, overall enjoyable movie experience leaving more to the imagination than most movies would dare to. Great stuff.
