Another week begins which means another SleeperMovie Monday. I have to admit, having responsibilities yesterday for Mother’s Day was not the easiest thing in the world. Sure, you can call me an asshole, a bad son, but it was Sunday. Sunday’s are my day. I have no problem doting on my mom on any other day. But Sunday, really? The only thing that go me through the day was knowing I would get to lose myself in in a better world once 9:00 arrived. But anyways, back to SleeperMovie Monday. This week I decided to go with a movie that I’m sure many of us can relate to on a Monday afternoon, American Psycho.
American Psycho came out back in 2000 and stars Christian Bale and Justin Theroux. We’ve seen Bale go to great lengths for his roles and this movie is no different. You’ve got to admire a man who takes his craft so seriously. Bale plays an intelligent businessman who works by day on Wall Street adding to his already massive wealth that he inherited. He seems to have the world by the balls. However, when Bale’s not making his millions on Wall Street, he’s getting in touch with his psychotic, blood thirsty, violent side. The movie does a solid job with taking seemingly normal every day situations (going out to lunch with a coworker etc) and tying them into the insane thoughts that Patrick Bateman (Bale) has in his head during these moments. I found myself looking forward to the next psychotic like a giddy little school girl. Maybe that says a lot about me as a human being, or maybe that says a lot about Christian Bale as an actor. Either way, the book is an all time classic and the movie did not disappoint.
M&F rating: 7.7
