"American Psycho, the most misunderstood movie in years, turns out to be a savage satire that is so smart, so daring and so damned funny it will make your head spin."—Bruce Kirkland, Jam! Movies

"At once a sharp satire and an earnest study in the deadly consequences of moral vacancy."—Ella Taylor, LA Weekly

"The best monster movie in years."—Michael Thomson, BBC.com

In New York City in 1987, a handsome, young urban professional, Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale), lives a second life as a gruesome serial killer by night. The cast is filled by the detective (Willem Dafoe), the fiance (Reese Witherspoon), the mistress (Samantha Mathis), the coworker (Jared Leto), and the secretary (Chloë Sevigny). This is a biting, wry comedy examining the elements that make a man a monster.
