American Psycho was a great, albeit twisted and disturbing, little film made a couple years ago. It's a story about Patrick Bateman, a big, rich, important businessmanin the mid-80's whose outward life is just as you'd expect. He's a clone of his peers, and the most important thing to him is fitting in. He's also a little mental, though. He likes to kill people. Lots of people. The movie ends with the audience unclear as to whether he actually commited the murders, or if it was all in his head. The book, I'm told (as I have yet to read it), ends differently, but still quite well.
American Psycho 2 did the original a great disservice. One wonders how the movie was able to be made under the same name, when, aside from the name of Patrick Bateman, there is no continuity whatsoever.
The story is simple. Our main character, Mila Kunis (Jackie, from That 70's Show) was Patrick Bateman's last "victim" (meaning she was in the room when he killed someone), and she's the only one who ever got away. As it turns out, the reason she got away is that she killed him. I'm not seeing the victimhood, here, but we'll let it stand for the sake of the story. Anyway, several years later, Jackie's in a very competative university taking a very popular criminology course, andher number one goal for the semester is to become Bill Shatner's next teaching assistant, because 9 out of his last 10 TA's went on to Quantico to serve in the FBI. I'm just going to ignore the fact that Bill Shatner is her teacher for now. Why does she need tobe the TA to go to Quantico? It's not a prerequesite. Lots of people go to Quantico without having been Shatner's assistant.
Anywho, Jackie kills off all her competition and eventually Shatner. She goes on to Quantico and becomes a special agent. There's a bit about her psychotherapist thinking she's dangerous, but it's hardly important.
The original American Psycho was an intelligent psychological thriller and social commentary. American Psycho 2 was a 9th-rate teen slasher flick.
