American Psycho (Uncut) (US Version) DVD Region 1

A cunning indictment of the materialism of the 1980s, AMERICAN PSYCHO is Mary Harron's (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL) and Guinevere Turner's (GO FISH) deft interpretation of the dark and violent Brett Easton Ellis novel of the same name. Christian Bale (VELVET GOLDMINE) plays Patrick Bateman, the personification of the "me" culture of Ronald Reagan's 1980s. Imprisoned in an inane corporate existence fueled by status symbols, small talk, and gossip, Bateman begins a bloody reign of terror on nearly all that cross his path. The film's gray and navy mise-en-scene is filled with chilly, vacant streets, hard-edged skyscrapers and cold interiors flecked with the latest technological gadgets and designer flourishes. Mary Harron's camera glides through these spaces with the undisturbed detachment of a shark. Bale is a razor sharp Bateman whose cool, predatory grace is only matched by the equally indifferent corporate world in which he lives. Even during its most hideous scene, when a naked, chain-saw-toting Bateman goes on a screaming rampage, AMERICAN PSYCHO manages to project a cold indifference that has terrifying undertones. Harron's film is a frightening denunciation of a consumer culture gone amuck with greed, materialism and a lack of nearly any charity whatsoever.

"...A satire of conspicuous consumption..." - Dennis, Harvey (Variety Critic), Variety

"...Dead-on, kitsch-free period detail and a wonderfully agitated performance by Bale..." -- 3 out of 5 stars - A Satisfying Rental - Kerrie, Mitchell (Premiere Critic), Premiere, 10/01/2000

"...A mordantly funny and agreeably blatant satire with genuinely subversive bite..." - Gavin, Smith (Film Critic), Film Comment, 03/01/2000

"...An ingenious adaptation....Excellent direction and a set of self-effacing performances..." - Tony, Rayns (Sight And Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 05/01/2000

"...AMERICAN PSYCHO is really brilliant in the way it takes the viewer inside Bateman's world..." -- 4 out of 5 stars - Annlee, Ellingson (Box Office Critic), Box Office, 04/01/2000

"[D]irector Mary Harron impressively mines the dark social comedy from this scathing satire of the 1980s." - Jeff, Labrecque (Entertainment Weekly Critic), Entertainment Weekly, 06/24/2005
