Noté 6/10 par Sébastien Pierre "Véritable film culte à sa sortie, American Psycho vaut surtout pour la performance habitée de Christian Bale qui explose tout sur son passage. L'adaptation du roman jugé impossible nous offre un moment politiquement incorrect qui surfe sur une folie pure et d'une violence extrême pour l'époque. Le casting, de qualité, offre des moments d'anthologies de par ses dialogues et des attitudes poussées à l'extrême. On peut s'y perdre par moment, mais le discours engagé de son auteur est bien retranscrit malgré une réalisation plutôt classique mais très tapageuse. Le seul regret qui peut ressortir c'est le côté un peu bordélique que propose le personnage surtout sur la fin du film et le manque de profondeur et d'implication du personnage de Willem Dafoe trop peu exploité pour l'intrigue policière."

Synopsis

A wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies.

Opinions on 'American Psycho' are vividly polarized, with many praising Christian Bale's chilling performance as Patrick Bateman and the film's sharp critique of 1980s consumerism. Viewers are intrigued by the blend of horror and dark humor, and the ambiguous ending that leaves room for interpretation. However, some find the film's graphic violence and complex narrative off-putting, feeling that it can be confusing and overly disturbing.

👍 Christian Bale's performance is widely acclaimed.

👎 Graphic violence may disturb some viewers.

This movie is so iconic, I had to watch it so I don’t feel left out. Let me start by saying that admittedly, I don’t understand much about this movie. I didn’t understand the ending monologue, and that might make this movie lower than average. But, I will say this movie is very good, it messes with your perception and makes you question Patrick Bateman’s unreliable narration. It’s a great piece of art, everyone’s acting is on point, and I now know the context behind some iconic scenes in this film, which is cool
