AMERICAN PSYCHO
A Filmfreak 8/10
Directed by Mary Harron
Screenplay by Bret Easton Ellis (novel), Mary Harron
Cast includes : Christian Bale, Willem Dafoe, Jared Leto, Chloë Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon
Basic plot outline: A devious excursion through the eyes of 'Wall Street Geek By Day', 'Murderous Freak By Night' Patrick Bateman. From a black humour lined obsessive compulsive narrative, we slowly enter the mind of a madman.
Review: To my utter surprise, I really enjoyed this film! I was feverently hoping that it would not turn out to be yet another pointless Slasher fliq, and I was not disappointed. It tastes brilliantly cold and clinical, and boasts an award-worthy performance by Christian Bale. He is totally captivating in this role. It's a psychological slasher film, at its best :). Definitely recommended.
