  It's OK
  
  It's ok. If you've not read the book, get it out of the library instead. If you have, there's better films to watch.

  American Psycho
  
  This film is entirely from the psychopath's point of view - he's telling the story and it plays as he thinks. Therefore it is extremely strange. But not... read more »
