American Psycho

The best monster movie in years.

An uneven movie that nonetheless bristles with stinging wit and exerts a perverse fascination.

Stillborn, pointless piece of work.

Funny, pungent, and weirdly gripping.

Christian Bale is heroic in the way he allows the character to leap joyfully into despicability; there is no instinct for self-preservation here, and that is one mark of a good actor.
