Where to Watch American Psycho
- Hipster ZOMBIE21 de febrero de 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.
- theLillyPad1 de julio de 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!
- rawaz10716 de abril de 2026It 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.
- CravanThePugilist14 de abril de 2026I'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.

En un mundo moralmente plano en el que la ropa tiene más sentido que la piel, Patrick Bateman es un espécimen soberbiamente elaborado que cumple todos los requisitos de Master del Universo, desde el diseño de su vestuario hasta el de sus productos químicos. Es prácticamente perfecto, como casi todos en su mundo e intenta desesperadamente encajar en él. Cuando más intenta ser como cualquier otro hombre adinerado de Wall Street, más anónimo se vuelve y menos control tiene sobre sus terribles instintos y su insaciable sed de sangre, que lo arrastra a una vorágine en la que los objetos valen más que el cuerpo y el alma de una persona.
