American Psycho

Taken from FanArt.tv

I've had to do a bit of research since watching this film as it left me in such a state of confusion! So I've only just managed to get round to watching American Psycho as I've always heard good things and I was a bit scared I wouldn't enjoy it. The film has a very basic plot, in which we follow round a business man played by Christian Bale, doing business-y things, however he holds psychopathic tendencies which slowly progress. Bale acts with a real feel for the character and portrays the role with attention to detail, giving the audience a love/hate relationship with his character, Patrick Bateman. The script is very well written, with clever anecdotes, though it did not hold as much dark comedy as I was expecting. If you haven't already it's definitely a film worth watching if you need something that's going to get you thinking. The film shows, albeit in an exaggerated way, how people, both inside and outside the business world, have a careless attitude towards others.
