by King Fatius
American Psycho is one of the most well-done and entertaining movies made during my lifetime. It was not necessarily the ending that made it worth watching; it was everything that occurred in between. It wasn't the Hollywood "movie-formula" big things, but the little specific details.
Contrary to public belief and against cinematic categorization, "American Psycho", although labeled as "Horror" or "Suspense", would be more accurately characterized as a "Dark Comedy". It had an astounding number of comedic elements, and this contrast of comedy rolled inside a suspense worked out very well towards the entertainment factor of the movie as a whole.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is serious about watching movies, collecting them, or just admiring to unique aspects of each.

Screen formats: Widescreen Anamorphic 2.35:1
Language and Sound: English: Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround
Subtitles: Closed-Captioned.
Extra Features: Harron makes consistently interesting choices in her films; it's a shame she doesn't offer commentary on American Psycho. However, the (light on special features) DVD offers a short interview with Harron, a lengthy chat with Bale in his ripe British accent and a making-of featurette. The film is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, with an English audio track in Dolby Digital 5.1.
