American Psycho

...feels like a hallucination; its tone of rambunctious, light fingered malevolence is closer to late Bunuel, or the Kubrick of ''The Shining,'' than it is to Bret Easton Ellis, on whose infamous 1991 novel the film is based.

Often laugh-out-loud funny, conveying the cruelty of its world through persistent mistakings of identity among the well-scrubbed young men...

The movie gives shape and form to road rage, golf course rage, family abuse and some of the scarier behavior patterns of sports fans.

...a nightmarish vision of '80s self-involvement.
