The right card, or the right cloth, or the right table, or the right watch, how these are the signposts of an empty age and an empty soul, and how these things have more value than your fellow man. Bateman putting on his makeup, or simply trying to get a restaurant, and the near apocalyptic importance, such minutiae makes in the lives of empty men.

I found the movie as a whole riveting, loved the restraint shown (and disagree with those calling for more gore, I think Mary should be applauded for her deft hand, the scenes have more power for what is not shown), and was captivated by nearly every scene, by scenes others have called boring, but I found profound. How American Psycho is an examination of our times, and our modern theologies. Found myself thinking, an examination of bateman is an examination of men by the name of Reagan and Bush. An examination, satire, critique of a time, and type of thinking.Įven before seeing the ending, I thought how much bateman lives in people. I found it brilliantly directed, and a superbly acted examination of excess, and boredom, and evil. And contrary to what some have said, the film does have many merits. So my review is based solely on the merits of the film. But as others have stated any movie that requires you to read the book, to "get" the movie, is ultimately a failure as a movie.
Those who consider it a masterpiece, those who consider it unredeemable, boring trash, and by far the largest segment, those who see it as a flawed masterpiece. A good sampling I think, and this movie has three distinct cheering sections. I've browsed some of your comments, not all 400+ to be sure. And it seems I'm not the only one left vaguely adrift by the ambiguous ending. Having just finished American Psycho, I came to IMDB to get some clarification on the ending.
