If you have read the book, you will be strangely watching only a portion of it. It is an adaptation so that justifies the plot of the movie. It is purely carried by christian bale, the protagonist and the narrator who is decaying into extreme paranoia due to his mental conflict of overly materialistic, unsympathetic, superficial, conditioned and competitive wall street culture of the 90s. Truly magnificent acting performance by christian bale as american psycho signifies the rise of Christian Bale as an actor. Movies like these helped him with roles in Batman trilogy. It contains chilling and horrifying scenes where he feeds a stray cat into an ATM machine and murders a destitute vagrant in the dark allies. Truly excellent portrayal of a maniac who gets his kick by taking lives of people by gruesome means. Patrick Bateman cannot exist in real because no one will get off with the murders on the streets, people and cops would eventually notice. I am not sure whether they have made cult classics such as these in a decade. Because this was extremely satisfying and well made, some scenes are all time classics and already generated number of views and comments on youtube.
