This movie is very mediocre and it's pretty stupid. I expected better out of this film as I was expecting. I expected it to be at least decent. Overall, it's only recommended if you like Christian Bale and if you're a... Full review

Now it all makes sense. Christian Bale was born to play horror characters. I couldn't understand why I was so , so, afraid of him even in films like "Velvet Goldmine" He is a poster boy for putrid souls in elegant... Full review

How can you mess up the film-adaption of a book that is so vivid that it's nearly made for the big screen. Reading the book by Bret Easton Ellis is so much more enjoyable and funny than the mediocre movie.... Full review

Everything nauseating and horrible about the 80s is in this movie. The movie is darkly hilarious and shocking at the same time. Christian Bale is a terrific actor and you can tell he was really into this role.... Full review

More complex is the sharp, blood-red American Psycho (a heady cocktail of assorted American whiskies, grapefruit, Absinthe, Maraschino, port and nutmeg), which is by no means blended for the faint hearted.....Alternatively, the wine and draught lines are nearly as satisfying.....If there was ever a bar that catered for great soul music then it is Anam..... ...

'American Psycho' is a very carefully manipulated piece of filmmaking, though I have not read the novel it's based on, written by Bret Easton Ellis, I do believe now I will search for it and give it a run through.
This movie was a reminder to me why I am glad that I never got caught in the rat race of high financial business.

Nonethele ss, "American Psycho" is really brilliant in the way it takes the viewer inside Bateman's world.
The victim (or perhaps the beneficiary) of fierce controversy, "American Psycho," while violent, is far removed from the novel on which it's based.

While American Psycho contains its gross-out moments, it is actually far less violent than the book.
Christian Bale's performance is absolutely amazing.
