American Psycho

What do you get when you combine a warped mind of a Manhattan stockbroker and a suave, classy well-built exterior? You get an American psycho and the title of a brilliant yet not so easily accepted book by Bret Easton Ellis.

Canadian director Mary Harron, known for her work with the cult movie "I Shot Andy Warhol", really took on a handful when she decided to put Ellis's work to the big screen. Though the film is not readily received by those with a not-so-open mind, it is indeed properly appreciate by less up tight individuals. It is difficult, and not to mention impossible, to watch this movie while only seeing the rough gruesome and at times shocking exterior.

During the hour and a half of this "less than heartwarming" tale, you must look deeper into the true meaning of this 80's cult horror flick. Though it is thought to be merely some corporate "dude" with a sick, twisted mind who gets his kicks brutally killing innocent people, it is not all that tough to realize that it has ideas that go far beyond that. Recent critically acclaimed Wales actor Christian Bale puts on a hauntingly vicious performance in the role of Patrick Bateman, a hot off of Wall Street VP who harbors more than just sadistic thoughts.


As for Bale's fellow supporting actors, there's not much to say. Reese Witherspoon plays the "snooty" fiancee Evelyn with a somewhat less than eye-popping performance. Jared Leto played VP Paul Allen, a role in which Leto gets a chance to be remembered for something other than that of his "Dudley Do-Wrong" role in teen drama "My So Called Life".

eing that 27-year-old Bateman conceals his evil intentions behind his well-dressed exterior, he is more so recognized by others for his apparent normalcy rather than his more sinful side. It is this seemingly perfect idea of man that manages to provide Bateman with not only a VP spot in a multi-million dollar company, but also win him the materialistic heart of his fiancee Evelyn (Reese Witherspoon). Despite having these two, what seem to be, important things in life, Bateman constantly tackles his desire and hunger for more not so conventional things. His sleek physique and good looks just isn't enough to keep Bateman sane.

To put it simply for those more close-minded, easily stunned people, the film portrays a young man rout with frustrated feelings brought on by the idea that someone's business card is more elaborate, or another VP's apartment is more expensive, or one of his "friends" suits is made by a better designer. His vanity overcomes all other possible human emotions that he has the ability to experience and he rarely expresses one single feeling that isn't backed by some op
