**A detailed explanation of the wealthy Americans on Wall Street**
It is one of the most important films during the last 20 years and one of the powerful movie that left an impact on American cinema. The film talks about a hysterical, insane, murderous character who herself is a character who realizes from within that she is a murderer and describes herself with important dialogue sentences that talk about the nature of the character in the voice of the hero himself.

Patrick Bateman was a thug who wanted to convey his suffering to others, and he did not see that no one had a future. He did not show any good feelings to anyone, because his suffering wanted to convey it to everyone around him, while he was without emotion and did not desire anything but hatred and hatred for everyone. It was these sentences at the beginning and end of the movie that were a complete description of the character.
The director wanted to show the viewers the nature of Wall Street work and who works inside it in the old periods of this time, and all their concern and only goal was appearances and pretending with suits, glasses and cards that they made for themselves.
Acting was at the highest level from Christian Bale. Acting was the distinguishing element in the work, in addition to music. The idea of linking musical or romantic works with a murderer was unique
I want be Patrick Bateman, well without the sociopathic tendencies and the murder, but his workout routine, apartment, and job are cool...
Jokes aside, this movie bangs, literally and metaphorically. Christian Bale is great. The cast is stacked. Cool imagery, fantastically paced, and some wild turns the had me baffled.
Score: 90%
Verdict: Excellent
Well it's definitely what the title says he's a american psycho. That's an understatement. Really good movie.
Not so much an American Psycho as a Wall Street (Journal) psycho. When you look at America in 2024 it's almost a documentary.
American Psycho is a dark and disturbing film carried by Christian Bale’s brilliant performance. The story and style make it an interesting watch, but it felt more like a one time watch for me
