Entertainment Reviews:
...Dead-on, kitsch-free period detail and a wonderfully agitated performance by Bale... -- 3 out of 5 stars - A Satisfying Rental
Premiere
American Psycho is nearly perfect for what it is, but before we go on, we should ask what that actually amounts to. Can something with so rigid a thesis be a real work of art?

Slate
I've always found Mary Harron's vision of Bret Easton Ellis's arch satire of '80s greed, excess, and grooming to be a lot funnier than its reputation.

The Ringer
[D]irector Mary Harron impressively mines the dark social comedy from this scathing satire of the 1980s.
Entertainment Weekly
When you're a white, rich man in American, you can get away with anything. Murder and rape? Go ahead! Commit at will because the world is your oyster.

Woman in Revolt
It needs to be seen and appreciated, like a serpent in a glass cage.

TIME Magazine
The slick satire cleverly equates materialism, narcissism, misogyny, and classism with homicide, but you may laugh so loud at the protagonist that you won't be able to hear yourself laughing with him.

Product Description:
A cunning indictment of the materialism of the 1980s, AMERICAN PSYCHO is Mary Harron's (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL) and Guinevere Turner's (GO FISH) deft interpretation of the dark and violent Brett Easton Ellis novel of the same name. Christian Bale (VELVET GOLDMINE) plays Patrick Bateman, the personification of the "me" culture of Ronald Reagan's 1980s. Imprisoned in an inane corporate existence fueled by status symbols, small talk, and gossip, Bateman begins a bloody reign of terror on nearly all that cross his path. The film's gray and navy mise-en-scene is filled with chilly, vacant streets, hard-edged skyscrapers and cold interiors flecked with the latest technological gadgets and designer flourishes. Mary Harron's camera glides through these spaces with the undisturbed detachment of a shark. Bale is a razor sharp Bateman whose cool, predatory grace is only matched by the equally indifferent corporate world in which he lives. Even during its most hideous scene, when a naked, chain-saw-toting Bateman goes on a screaming rampage, AMERICAN PSYCHO manages to project a cold indifference that has terrifying undertones. Harron's film is a frightening denunciation of a consumer culture gone amuck with greed, materialism and a lack of nearly any charity whatsoever.
