American Psycho was a very interesting blend between the first couple seasons of Dexter and The Wolf of Wall Street.

 Christian Bale headlines this film as a guy that works on Wall Street, but ultimately has a secret life as a serial killer. First of all, Christian Bale is unbelievably awesome in this movie. I don’t know if he was nominated for anything or won anything for his portrayal, but he was definitely Oscar-worthy in this film. And then there’s a really functional supporting cast the progress the movie along well.

I feel like this review is gonna be kinda short because I don’t want to give away anything significant in the movie. But also because the movie has a really good run time. It’s a little under two hours and you finish it thinking it could be 45 minutes longer. That’s never a complaint.

I guess if I did have a complaint it would be that sometimes you lose the audience on the plot. I’m not the most observant person in the world, but I do believe that there were some things in this movie that were a little hard to follow at times. Especially the end. The end of this movie does a Darren Aronofsky-type thing, where it’s supposed to be really thought-provoking but just confuses you to the point of insanity (pun completely intended).

I really like that this movie has a Dexter-ish premise five years before Dexter even began. I do still like the concept and plot of Dexter a bit more (despite Seasons 5, 6 and 8), though having Bale’s character (Patrick Bateman) be a Wall Street guy is really interesting. I also like how nervous his character can get. There’s a scene towards the end where this pretty suave and calm character just starts freaking out, and that’s all I’ll say without running it for you guys, because I do recommend you check it out.

This is a movie I am definitely going to check out again, and I think you guys should too.

4/5
