About this product

Product Information

A cunning indictment of the materialism of the 1980s, AMERICAN PSYCHO is Mary Harron's (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL) and Guinevere Turner's (GO FISH) deft interpretation of the dark and violent Brett Easton Ellis novel of the same name. Christian Bale (VELVET GOLDMINE) plays Patrick Bateman, the personification of the "me" culture of Ronald Reagan's 1980s. Imprisoned in an inane corporate existence fueled by status symbols, small talk, and gossip, Bateman begins a bloody reign of terror on nearly all that cross his path. The film's gray and navy mise-en-scene is filled with chilly, vacant streets, hard-edged skyscrapers and cold interiors flecked with the latest technological gadgets and designer flourishes. Mary Harron's camera glides through these spaces with the undisturbed detachment of a shark. Bale is a razor sharp Bateman whose cool, predatory grace is only matched by the equally indifferent corporate world in which he lives. Even during its most hideous scene, when a naked, chain-saw-toting Bateman goes on a screaming rampage, AMERICAN PSYCHO manages to project a cold indifference that has terrifying undertones. Harron's film is a frightening denunciation of a consumer culture gone amuck with greed, materialism and a lack of nearly any charity whatsoever.

  • Controversial for good reason

    I am conflicted about to how to review this film. On the one hand the storyline is VERY unique- I can guarantee you havn't seen this done before. The themes that reoccur throughout the movie are definitely conversation worthy and it makes some very thought-provoking statements about society at large, materialism and consumption. HOWEVER, on the other hand, the film is VERY PERVERSELY SEXUALLY VIOLENT and the majority of the violence is against women. These are the same issues that divided the critics on this film and what caused all the controversy when it was first released. In some ways this movie reminds me of Natural Born Killers. In my opinion, any movie that is capable of evoking such strong emotions is PROBABLY worth watching once. That said, I would definitely recommend renting ...

  • Stunning !!!!

    Bret Easton Ellis' Novel 'American Psycho'; 1991, sliced critics right down the middle. Most condemned its profile of an affluent '80s Serial Killer mutilating women as a sick, misogynist diatribe; while others praised the book as a pitch-black send-up of the Immoral Era of junk bonds, Iran-Contra and Cocaine-Crazed materialism. For years, controversy scared off attempts to bring it to screen; Male Directors for fear of being branded women-haters, while virtually every female was repulsed by the ultraviolent subject matter. Not Mary Harron. Along with Co-Screenwriter Guinevere Turner ('Go Fish'), they focus on the novel's darkly ironic social satire. The result is bloody perfect and indubiously brilliant. 'American Psycho' profiles Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), a blue-blood yuppie ...

  • Movie title says it all.

    One of Christian Bale's best performances ever. Patrick Bateman is the ideal of Manhattan society for the young male generation. He has it all! Money, a beautiful fiance, a great apartment and friends. But beneath the cover he is at heart as he humbily puts it, "Not all there." Despite his numerous mess-up's he never gets caught. It's a true insight to the ignorance of the wealthy end of humanity and their general lack of common sense and situational awareness. Patrick points out how everyone around him is far from what they seems, so why sould he be any different. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a good thriller. Little gory for some, but hey, that's Manhattan for ya!!

  • A Classic

    Bret Easton Ellis' masterpiece finds an eerie and accurate interpretation in the screen version of "American Psycho." Though some of the more violent and sickening parts of the book are left out, there is no shadow of doubt left as to what Patrick Bateman is capable of. An incredible satire of 80s excess and boredom the film explores the dark places a person with too much can go to to find the next thrill. Most critics of this film and the book have never seen it, understand it or may be afraid of seeing themselves in it. The key question will always be, is this really Patrick or just his mind. A classic in cinema and literature. One of those rare occasions when a novel based primarily in the main characters head is transferred to cinema effectively.

  • Inexpensive DVD, but great movie to watch!!!

    I bought this American Pyscho awhile back and was immediately impressed wtih the actors on this inexpensive DVD. Their was Christian Bale, Reese Witherspoon, William Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny and many more. The film exudes an eerie cleanliness and implying violence and showing the terrible aftermath, leaving us to fill in the gaps. Like the book, the film doesn't always know what it is trying to satirise, but for the most part it hits its targets, striking the right queasy balance between horror and humour, so that while we recoil at Patrick's heinous crimes, we find ourselves compelled to laugh at him. Overall, I recommend this DVD to anyone who likes horror.
