Review of American Psycho (2000) by Dann M — 24 Jan 2016
A bizarre slasher film, American Psycho is some crazy sh**. The story follows a New York investment banking named Patrick Bateman who's secretly a murdering psychopath whose blood lust grows out-of-control, causing him to randomly kill prostitutes and co-workers.
Starring Christian Bale, Josh Lucas, Reese Witherspoon, Jared Leto, and Chloe Sevigny, the cast is quite impressive. But the storytelling is incredibly poor, as it's difficult to tell what's really happening and what Bateman is imagining (which leads to a lot of plot holes).
Also, the violence and nudity is pretty gratuitous. Cheap, exploitative tripe, American Psycho is a pointless film that goes nowhere.
