It was supposed to be a different project, and it was re-edited the "clean" visual style, and detail is also fairly strong, since the film is generally quite brightly lit. And while there are no

handling of the violence, etc). Turner certainly wins points for her biting critiques, such as an intriguing comparison of today's indie movie scene with the greed and excess satirized in 'Psycho.' This directly parallels the callous corporate violence Bateman enacts on a whim every day on Wall Street, making decisions that cause financial ruin for others just to brag in the boardroom. American Psycho explained that its violence represents rampantly spiraling greed. Bateman's bloodlust is as insatiable as his colleagues' thirst for profit. His murder of Paul Allen is a key piece of evidence for this, as it represents Bateman's willingness to get ahead by killing his colleagues and competitors. The film's ending sees Bateman getting away with his actions, proving the indifference that others in his social circles feel towards that level of violence.

The violence is way toned down in terms of visceral gruel, but pumped up in visual excess, so it becomes surreal (even comic book-like), making it not only palatable, but justifiable as an artistic device through which to explore the book's themes of misogyny, wanton violence and amorality.

Clearly meant to be a very, very dark satire (which seemed to escape the comprehension of most of its critics), it still fails on almost every single level as a work of fiction. Ellis offers endless descriptions of clothes, music, cultural and empty characters, but it's a one-joke concept barely able to sustain a single chapter, let alone a dozen. It reads as distanced, smug and arrogant -- the writings of someone who seems to have no apparent experience with the kind of criminal mind he's attempting to satirize. Worse, the book's Next we have a collection of five Deleted Scenes, also with optional Harron commentary. Each is centered around a "Featured Character," and Harron also provides a brief introduction to each. The whole collection runs aboutKim Poirier as Barbara Brown, a student in Starkman's class who is hoping for a good grade, only to be set aside due to the professor's affair with Cassandra Blaire.

All of this clearly must have posed a real problem for the makers of 'American Psycho,' the movie. How do you adapt a book that has no story, and no characters, and whose tortures are so graphic they could never be shown in even the harshest R-rated picture?

When he looks up from speaking with a student, he sees Rachael, who has not died after all; she indirectly reveals that she killed Starkman's last assistant, Elizabeth McGuire, and stole her identity to get into Quantico FBI Academy. She allows Dr. Daniels to know because she believes there is no point in committing the perfect crime if no one knows about it and she is confident he will not divulge this information because it would make a farce of his best-selling book in which he claimed to completely understand her and witness her death in the fiery car. The body that was in the car was the real Rachael, whose decaying body had been kept in the killer's dorm closet. It was revealed by another student that Rachael is the youngest agent to be drafted to the Bureau in her sophomore year. As Rachael walks out of his class, Dr. Daniels is visibly shaken by what he had just learned. Daniels and two cops pursue Rachael in a car chase, which ends with Rachael driving off a cliff, resulting in the car exploding. At this point, she is presumed dead. Rabin, Nathan (July 22, 2002).
