      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      If it falls short of the deadly satire of Bret Easton Ellis's novel, American Psycho still finds its own blend of horror and humor, thanks in part to a fittingly creepy performance by Christian Bale.

      Wendy Ide Times (UK) ... A ferociously intelligent, horribly violent and darkly funny parable of greed and violence. Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader 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. Mar 28, 2011 Full Review Desson Thomson Washington Post It's hard to summon up enthusiasm for a performance so rooted in bloody banality. I mean, as Patrick, Bale's most emotionally pressing dilemma is: Chainsaw or butcher knife? Mar 28, 2011 Full Review Chuck Klosterman Akron Beacon Journal I will not give away the ending to American Psycho, but I will say this: The last three scenes are implausible and unnecessary (and totally unrelated to the book) and the ending includes the cheapest, most manipulative trick in filmmaking. Rated: 2/4 Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Christian Bale is razor sharp... as blank corporate drone Patrick Bateman... a preening tiger in designer suits whose speaking voice is part salesman, part self-help guru, and completely artificial Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn I couldn't connect with this movie at all. In a way, the story kind of goes nowhere. But at the same time, Christian Bale goes for broke and you can't help but appreciate it. Rated: 1/5 Oct 9, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

      Sid I love this movie! That chainsaw seen on the big screen was everything! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Rafael S O filme tenta passar uma mensagem, mas simplesmente não consegue. Vai do nada ao lugar nenhum. Sentimento de tempo perdido. A atuação do bale é ótima e é um personagem interessante, mas não passa disso Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Audience Member The writing for Patrick was amazing, he really felt insane. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Scott K Christian Bale is one of the greats. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review HUDSON S Gosto peculiar comovente e ótima atuação de Christian Bale Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Rami A Christian Bale's captivating performance in "American Psycho" keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. With a nuanced portrayal, he navigates the fine line between comedy and terror, leaving viewers to perceive the film's unsettling world through both darkly humorous and deeply chilling lenses.
