    Christian Bale is crazy cool!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 28, 2005

    Pros: The movie was intense

    Cons: I want more

    Christian Bale has a future. He is a great actor. Versatile to a fault. This movie is provacitive. This movie takes an interesting approach on a morbid but intellectual killer. The movie is interesting from start to finish. I highly suggest this film.... This movie goes beyond horror. It deals with morals & subjection. This movie is abstract art. Watch it! Read more Less

    The movie takes you on a whirlwind ride of sick and depraved acts yet you must continue to watch.

    Very good but....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 5, 2002

    Lost some of the effect from the book for Rating, Publicity and Ethics purposes. The movie is EXCELLENT but if you read the book the movie leaves a little bit to be desired, but thanks to the MPAA and ignorant people who don't understand the book/mov...ie it will not improve. None the less its more like 10 stars. Read more Less

    Don't Rent If You Don't Want To Think

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 18, 2002

    I thought this was a very well made movie and despite the lack of big name actors, still delivered a haunting and at times humorous peek into the mind of a psychotic yuppie. The book is just as good or better but drags on occasion in its detailed de...scriptions of music albums. This movie really makes you wonder about the type of people the characters were based upon.

    Don't Just Stare At It EAT IT!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 15, 2002

    Hularious! I hate horrors with senseless killings and no plot. This is not a HORROR movie! This is a deranged dramatic thriller inwhich our hero (or not) is a purely insane lunatic who cannot be judged by his looks and demenier. There were some k...illings that could be considered shocking, but most were funny. I mean, his monolouge about Hewey Lewis and the News, plaing Hip to be Square, and killing paul at the same time! Of course, the best line in the movie kind of sums of the movie, "DONT JUST STARE AT IT EAT IT"!!! Read more Less

    OVER MY HEAD

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 13, 2002

    This is by far one of the most demented movies I have ever seen! I love horror movies but this movie goes way beyond. I hated it and I would advise no one to watch this movie.

    AMERICAN PSYCHO KILLS ALL THE OTHERS

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 6, 2002

    American Psycho is a beautifully made film. I have never read the book, but have bought it, and scanned through it. Most of the stuff in the movie is DIRECTLY OUT OF THE BOOK! Unlike films such as the upcoming Resident Evil movies and Stephen King's ...IT. One of the reviews said the acting was horrible. This movie had superb acting, especially by Bale, who played Patrick Bateman, the main character. The lighting was excellent, and we could see what was going on, which was very helpful for the alley scene. The kills in the movie were positively brutal, and there is even rather explicit sex scenes, but they don't reveal much. During filming, people in Canada were protesting this, because a man who went a killing spree or something said the book made him do it (just an interesting fact). His repeated threats to numerous people throughout the movie (the bar lady and the cleaner lady to be specific) almost seemed like he was serious, and he very well was! As you get further into the movie, he begins to get more insane then sane. The ending was very great in my opinion, and it was completely unpredictable. This is how books-to-movies are supposed to be made. If you're in for a good thriller/horror flick, buy this. Read more Less

    Very Thought Provoking

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 22, 2002

    Christian Bale leads an all star cast in a thriller that tests a normal human being's point break. Patrick Bateman (Bale) is a Wall Street executive who follows his daily routine like a cat follows a piece of string, until his logical way of thinking... is suddenly transformed into a murderous rage. Before he knows it, he starts to live two lives. During the day, he operates normally in the business world who schedules appointments etc, but during the night, he is a crazed loonatic who dissects and mutilates anyone and everyone he crosses (one scene where Bateman slaughters a homeless man in the street is terrifying). Every scene flows well with Christian Bale injecting extreme professionalism and humour into the Patrick Bateman character which is the key to American Psycho being so appealing. Many scenes will shock viewers (scene where Bateman goes on a screaming rampage with a chainsaw in an apartment complex is purely horrific) but there is some sort of irony associated with Patrick Bateman. Certainly not for the easily sickened, or the weak hearted, but American Psycho showcases Christian Bale giving a more terrifying performance than Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter!! Director Mary Harron would've had doubts about wether a screen adaptation from a best selling novel would be successful, she had absolutely nothing to worry about. ***** stars. Read more Less

    ULTIMATELY DISTURBING

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 20, 2002

    Adapted from the chilling novel, here is the motion picture which showcases a real psychotic who goes on a murderous rampage to feed his insatiable lust for death. Patrick Bateman is a Wall Street executive who lives a double life. During the day, he... is a well presented business man who seems to be a perfectly normal guy to everyone around him, but at night, he is a crazed maniac who savagely mutilates anyone he crosses. Christian Bale, a tremendous actor, plays the most horrifying psycho to ever be seen on screen. The most disturbing scene, where Bateman goes on a screaming rampage with a chainsaw, has to be the most terrifying scene to ever be put to celluloid. Christian Bale's performance (the best performance, better than Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal Lecter) is the only reason I have awarded 5 stars for this movie. Read more Less
