Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

lucaspieckermann Sehr guter Film, immer wieder gerne. Richtig hart geil.

adam_pittavino Bret Easton Ellis' 1991 novel of the same title gave readers the perfect insight to America's corporate obsession with materialism as greed and escess seemed to replace what was wholesome and warm about the decade before it. The 1980's is the right environment for an emotionally bankrupt, ego driven maniac to pursue his blood thirsty tendencies as Christian Bale dishes up Patrick Bateman, one of cinemas most talked about characters in recent memory. Patrick works on wall street. He's a sneering, condesending, selfish and shallow psychotic that commits blatant, random acts of violence, his pseudo-preppie diction noticeable but not unfamilier when in social circles. One memorable scene has Bateman comparing buisness cards with his colleague's, a fierce undertone of jealousy washes over him as he realises their offerings maybe be more impressive than his own. On the surface, his personality fits in with the crowd he surrounds himself with, but his disregard for peoples feelings, let alone their lives is what ultimetely drives his lust for killing. American Psycho isnt overly gory, it isnt overly violent, but its ambitious and confident and these traits are what made it one of the best films of the year. American Psycho is many things, part black comedy, part horror but above all its a satire on a generation that knows no limits.

choggs Christian Bale's performance here is convincingly freaky and his music choices give him hints of empathy but the ending and the chainsaw sequence show us a man who lives in a maniacal fantasy where he is the all powerful demon. His cries for help will never be heard and he will be allowed to continue. Great movie.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'American Psycho (2000)' an interesting and unsettling film that is never as straightforward as it initially seems to be. It becomes quite frustrating in its determination to not provide answers in the way in which you expect it to, though this is ultimately a strength of the piece. The watch is an uncomfortable one that uses its comedy as a tool to make you squirm rather than laugh, to wonder why such dark material is played with such a strange tone rather than chuckle along with our killer protagonist, and the 'funniest' stuff is actually the smart underlayer of satire that roots the picture in a knowing world of its own. The plastic smiles of self-important businessmen are there to be examined on a much deeper and slyer level than you'd perhaps expect, before they're carved off with a chainsaw accompanied by all the bloody B-movie splendour you could imagine. 6/10
