An amazing adaption from one of my favorite Bret Easton Ellis novels. It showed about as much as it could, while retaining as much story as possible. Christian Bale was the perfect choice for Patrick Bateman and is completely priceless. The visual setting is a perfect representat...( read more)
I've grown to love this movie. At first the notion of a yuppie, seemingly perfect, wall-street trader, who has everything, who has a sick fetish of slicing young woman, and murdering his friends, with all evidence seemingly going ignored, seems silly and over the top. But when I...( read more)
Christian Bale scared me in this movie. He was so psychotic and the ending...epic.
Foreword: I read reviews and analyses to really GET the movie. With that said, I think it's a great movie. (Well, apparently the play on which it is BASED has to get the credit, really). I think the acting was decent but could be better.
Don't look to be entertained. This movie i...( read more)
Many people complain about this film because it is not nearly as graphic as the book, however what people have to understand, if Mary Harron made the movie exaclty the same as the book, it would of been out cast by most movie theatres and even banned in some countries. The clever...( read more)
I actually skipped school to go see this movie when it came out. How someone cannot enjoy this movie is beyond me. It's nice to see the occasional non-conforming role for Christian Bale. His performance in this movie was flawless. His attitude, taste in music and way that he expr...( read more)
It was a fun movie. I honestly think it shouldnt be labeled under the "Horror" section at movie stores, considering that its a funny drama, and there is absolutely no horrific scenes in the movie. The movie is meant to be entertaining, and it is, but i think its only good for a o...( read more)
Who would've thought that murder could be this comical! Insane, explicit, relentless yet utterly appealing.
Quirky, so very quirky; simultaneously graphically stylish undoubtedly. A condemnation of the rise of (ultra-)materialism in the 1980s. A so ravishing Christian Bale (by the way, I really loved & miss the pre-Batman Bale who was open to different roles) ever seen on silver screen.
Corporate America has been slowly killing people for years. At least Patrick Bateman is honest about it...
This Guy Over Here picks this as one of the Best Films of the 2000s
I just flat out love this moVie! I think that I have seen it around 20 times! Yes its that good. Bale gives his best performance of his carrer as the 27 year old Patrick Bateman. He is such a dork,even if he tries to play it cool. Oh and he is so fucking greedy and doesnt give a ...( read more)
horror-extremely dark comedy-thriller starring Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe, Cloe Sevigny and Jared Leto. based on Bret Easton Ellis's novel of the same name. directed by Mary Harron.

A nice adaptation of the book. By no means as dark and violent - so if you've read the book, don't be put off watching the film. In my opinion, Christian Bale's best performance to date. Despite being quite intense, there are some excellent laugh-out-loud scenes. Big thumbs up...( read more)
Christian Bale deserved an Oscar nomination. Great acting. It was a good film, but I didn't get it at all.
Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now,you fucking stupid bastard-Patrick Bateman

Christian Bale is brilliant in this highly quotable film. It's not my favorite movie of all time, mostly because Patrick Bateman reminds me of my psycho ex-boyfriend, but it's up there on my list.
Fans of Bret Easton Ellis's novel must have counted their blessings when the title role went to Christian Bale and not Leonardo DiCaprio. The most chilling thing about his character may be that he admires the "professionalism" of Huey Lewis and the News. Apart from a grotesque ch...( read more)
I've seen this film, as of today, four times and it just seems to get better with each additional viewing. Definately a film that needs to be seen multiple times to be truely appreciated.
A book no one thought could be filmed. It?s fair to say that it doesn?t come close to the book but it?s also fair to say that Mary Harron did as good a job as anyone could have done. This is a brilliant film with some brilliant performances, especially from Bale in one of his bes...( read more)
I definetily recomend you to see this film..(if you notice i reraly say film and nnot movie..Movie refers to a product like TRANSFORMERS and film to a Masterpiece, a piece of art where this makes you think about things in life.)
THIS IS A GREAT FILM...
Christian Bale at his be...( read more)
L'agghiacciante paradosso dell'impossibilità di essere accettato nella società dell'apparenza per quello che si è, anche quando nella realtà ci trova di fronte a un feroce assassino. Grande prova di Christian Bale (ormai soecializzato in ruoli controversi) nel ruolo di Patrick Ba...( read more)
Well....I was thrilled to watch this for way over a year now...and I think the thing that really lifted the movie criticwise is just Christian Bale. When you think of a role played to perfection, you'll always think Hopkins as Dr.Hannibal Lector, now you could add up Bale as Patr...( read more)
So sadistic and psycho. Brutality and obsession delicately disguised with elegancy. Christian Bale is so damn perfect. Good modern psychological horror.
69/100
Having read the Easton Ellis novel before watching this film, I would say that Mary Harron's treatment was right and on the spot, and after watching it, I can't think of any other way an adaptation of "American Psycho" would be done. The opening credits automatically created the ...( read more)
A pretty cool movie, although boring in places. It leaves you with a lot of questions and a lot of wondering afterwards, which is always a good thing! Christian Bale is very good in this movie, and so is everyone else.
I love this movie as it was Christian Bale's big break. It's one of the movies I have which I like to show to other people to see their reaction and hear their ideas on what the ending means. It's part-gore, part-thriller, part-black comedy, but it is mainly a parody on the yuppi...( read more)
The title should have been "Every Yuppie's Wet Dream", since it seems that every time a "young urban professional" opened his/her mouth, the murdering of homeless people and prostitutes is like icing on their consumerist cupcakes. Philosophical monologues about the music of Whitn...( read more)
The book was brilliant, but I was realy disappointed with this movie. Christian Bale does a good job to try to rescue this movie.
Oh Patrick Bateman, you little scamp you...
This film is beyond twisted, and in my opinion a wee bit better then the actual novel...
What an amazing adaptation. What an AMAZING performance by Christian Bale. I never knew he could pull of a role like this, but he did better than I can ever imagine anyone else doing. It's so ridiculously INSANE... literally. He seemed completely insane, and that was what was...( read more)
one of the strangest, most disturbing films which is often hilarious, immediately followed up by being psychotic with an ending which will leave you very confused.
