I thought the acting was great and that the guy from Dawson Creek wasnt that bad for once!!! although he shouldnt try to play bad asses anymore

Ian Somerhalder is tremendous in this movie - he steals every scene, I reckon. Trivia piece...in the section where he travels the world and it's shown in fast-moving clips, he visits a club in London... very briefly, Keren from Bananarama is shown with him in the club

The film has a great soundtrack, great ending and a good performance from Dawson’s James van der Beek, though in no way as good as Christian Bale in American Psycho. It is a film that is good, but does not hold up to repeated viewings. 3/5 (originally 4/5 on first viewing)

Appalling film, and even the usually-fabulous Mr Bale can't rescue it. Read the book, ignore the shocking movie. Also - I think it's about time a PROPER adaptation of American Psycho was made - not the glossy, crass, dumbed-down version that's been made.
