"A chilling indictment of the eighties."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
3.5/5
"
American Psycho
vibrates between being deliriously funny and just plain delirious."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
4/4
"An incisive commentary about the emptiness and rapacity of important people."

"The film left me with an empty feeling..."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
3/4
"For Ellis, Bateman represents Reaganism on-the-kill."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
B+
"Bale is outstanding as Bateman."

Eric D. Snider
3.5/4
"It is a fable, albeit a dark and twisted one destined to be praised by some, abhorred by others and turned into a cult classic by even more."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
B+
"A remarkable achievement on so many levels that it would be a shame if it were dismissed with the same kind of blind contempt as the novel (rather unjustly) was."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
B-
"Succeeds in entertaining the audience, but diminishes the overall power of the social critique Ellis had in mind."
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
3.5/4
"It represents one of the most daring, inventive, and invigorating movies to reach the screen during the dreary first half of 2000."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2.5/4
"a potentially sensationalistic film that has become--for lack of a better word--boring."
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
"Those looking for an exploration of what makes an
American Psycho
tick are bound to be disappointed, as are those looking for a good scary film."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
9/10
"A very cool satire."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
6/10
"...a dark satire, a black comedy, and a slick slasher rolled into one."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
"This picture is tough to enjoy because there really isn’t anyone to root for."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
3.5/4
"Una de las más comentadas, ingeniosas e inteligentes películas del año "
Moviola

"If you are offended by purposeless terrible deeds and unrepentant evil, skip it. Otherwise, it's a great movie to chat about over a nice, fluffy dessert."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
3.5/4
"What's best about the movie is the density of its satire. Its wry social commentary permeates every aspect of the filmmaking."
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
9/10
"A clever adaptation."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3.5/4
"Bale's achievement is in suggesting far more dimensions than his character would ever admit to having."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
4/5
"A diretora Mary Harron desempenha admiravelmente bem seu papel, criando um encadeamento lógico que, analisado em retrospecto, expõe a linha de raciocínio de Bateman."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
5/5
"One can picture Kubrick handling this material with a similar elegant malevolence."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
"Toothless and empty."
