American Psycho

Great flick. I enjoyed it more the first time then I did the second time around because I read the novel in between and obviously the novel is always greater than the film. With like any novel turned into film a lot of information is missing, but in this case the director was smart to not put in a lot of the information. Most of the novel was really gruesome and if that was shown in the film, "American Psycho" would be considered a B movie instead of a drama.
I really enjoyed the acting a lot. Christian Bale did an amazing job portraying the role of Patrick Bateman, an insane murderer. Actually, Patrick Bateman is exactly how I would picture Christian Bale to be in real life, minus the murdering part.
Basically this film has the perfect blend of blood and 80's pop tunes and all I have to say is don't return this videotape.
