“Killer looks.”
American Psycho (2000) charts the descent of Patrick Bateman, a wealthy New York investment banker, into a nightmarish duality. Behind his veneer of success and charm lies a psychopathic alter ego, indulging in ever more violent and grotesque fantasies that begin to blur with reality. Director Mary Harron's adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis's novel distills the horror and absurdity of Bateman's world with a disquieting precision, rendering the banality of his corporate existence as chilling as his gruesome deeds.
