American Psycho
Regie Mary HarronAuf den ersten Blick ist Patrick Bateman ein stinknormaler, egomanischer Wall-Street-Yuppie, doch hinter der Fassade des proper gewandten Lebemannes verbirgt sich ein mörderischer Abgrund aus Hass und Sadismus. Um die Leere seines einzig von Statussymbolen erhellten Daseins auszufüllen, ist Patrick auf den Serienmord gekommen, insbesondere junge Frauen, aber auch der eine oder andere unvorsichtige Geschäftspartner zählen zu seinen Opfern. Als es ihm zunehmend schwerfällt, zwischen Phantasie und Realität zu unterscheiden, tritt die Polizei auf den Plan.
American Psycho Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Megan Cruz18. März 2025I’d write a full review but I have to return some video tapes
- rawaz107vor 1 TagIt doesn’t matter if Bateman actually did those things or if he was just imagining them; The important point is that he is dangerous and damaged, but the world around him is so “violating and corrupt” that it allows room for such a person to exist and views him as a normal member.
- CravanThePugilistvor 4 TagenI've seen this maybe 4 times over the years? & a shitty musical version of it (I was pretty drunk & don't remember it, just not enjoying it, which is usually the opposite when I'm drunk at musical comedies) live once... & have read the book, which is probably even better than the movie, though I consider the two quite different. Narratively fairly identical, but the tone & seriousness somehow makes me feel like I wouldn't mix the two up in my head. Either way, absolutely classic movie.
- gamer TJvor 6 TagenConfusing in a good way, a lot of different meanings instead of straight forward you have to search or learn about it, it’s deeper than just on the surface that’s the thrill about it.
- The Gutter Monkey23. März 2025Bateman Begins.
- christinav61vor 6 TagenWell, I didn’t really like this
- Hipster ZOMBIE21. Februar 2025American Psycho is peak Christian Bale. A self absorbed, jealous, cranky, sadistic businessman who compares business card fonts with his friends while listening to Huey Lewis and the News. Is the film really happening? Maybe. Maybe it’s all in the wrapped mind of Bale’s Patrick Bateman character. Either way if it’s having to return video tapes or reserve a table at fancy restrauants, Patrick Bateman finds time to murder and spend his money on hookers. Who he also kills. It’s a brutal dark comedy and I’m here for it.
- Sam18. November 2025his business card sucked and his taste in business cards sucked too because paul allen's card was also dogshit
- theLillyPad1. Juli 2025Bale's early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Psycho came out in 2000, I think he really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole performance has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the movie a big boost. He's been compared to Daniel Day-Lewis, but I think Bale has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In 2000, Pressman released this; American Psycho, his most accomplished film. I think its an undisputed masterpiece. A film so memable, most people probably don't pay attention to the message. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the lack of accountability for elites and the effects of unregulated corporatism!
- illegalgamer50002. Juli 2025wow i like psycho man guy
- Cubane7. April 2026A source in M&A told me he also spends most of his time at work comparing business cards, pretending to be busy, and committing murder for fun. Film is accurate!
- joeowens5164. April 2026It was my first time watching it, and it struck me as the kind of movie that demands a rewatch. I loved the unreliable narrator element. Bates may be a killer, he may be insane—he’s probably both—but what stayed with me most was something else. His friends, obsessed with business cards, dinner reservations, designer suits, and status, felt like the real psychos. There’s a lot more to unpack, but that was my initial takeaway.
- darsan29. März 2026"i simply am not there" holy shit i finally get the true meaning behind this film after watching it for the second time and christian bale's performance in this will always be iconic.
- SURVIVOR_BEAR green10. März 2025That’s one of the best movies of the 90s. And that’s really saying something. Christian Bale is superfluous. What else do you want out of a movie?
- makdelart19. März 2026A story about a narcissistic, yuppie psychopath. The film is a poor satire—I’m not really sure what it’s satirising—and it’s just as pretentious as the 1980s it references. Admittedly, the ending tries to add some underlying meaning and depth, but I’m not buying it.
