Reviews
Premiere - "...Dead-on, kitsch-free period detail and a wonderfully agitated performance by Bale..." -- 3 out of 5 stars - A Satisfying Rental, Variety - ...A satire of conspicuous consumption..., Sight and Sound - ...An ingenious adaptation....Excellent direction and a set of self-effacing performances..., Film Comment - ...A mordantly funny and agreeably blatant satire with genuinely subversive bite...

Bret Easton Ellis
Additional Information
Based on the popular novel by Bret Easton Ellis, Mary Harron's cinematic adaptation retains the over-the-top humor that made Ellis' book such a cult favorite. Christian Bale is hysterical as Patrick Bateman, the successful commodities broker whose disgust for everyone he encounters leads him to committing heinous murders. The film tackles all things 80s, including pop music, fashion, and the world of big business, all to hilarious effect. Graphic and brutal, AMERICAN PSYCHO is an unflinching satire, but one that should keep enlightened audiences laughing throughout.
