american psycho review
My Rating: 7.6/10
IMDb Rating: 7.6/10 Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 67% Metacritics Rating: 64/100 My Favorite Quotes 1. "I have to return some videotapes." - Patrick Bateman 2. "There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape. But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis; my punishment continues to elude me, and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself. No new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing." - Patrick Bateman A Maniac Lookalike Honestly after watching this movie I don't really know what to think. Truthfully I did not love it, but I did not hate it either. Everything was pretty good, the ending was expected and I felt like I had already seen it because it was so similar to Maniac. From a serial killer to hallucinations to having a romance they were almost identical. I liked Christian Bales acting, but I thought Elijah Woods was better. I think the director was assuming the twist was going to hit most people off guard, but after his phone call to his lawyer I knew he was going to be innocent all along. Still a short and enjoyable film and if you like thrillers I recommend this |
