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.

Freeman from a screenplay by Alex Sanger and Karen Craig. Starring Mila Kunis and William Shatner, it is a stand-alone sequel to the film American Psycho.

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? Indie filmmaker Mary Harron ('I Shot Andy Warhol') did perhaps the only Kim 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.

Freeman is a talented director who we are convinced will make a film that will appeal to audiences from the late teens on up. And Mila Kunis is about to really break out.

The extras that appeared on Universal's original DVD editions of 'American Psycho' do not appear here; Lionsgate tossed them aside on their recent standard-def release as well, though, so that's not much of a surprise. (The Uni extras only included a short and dull EPK thing plus some production notes, so they are not terribly missed). Instead, Lionsgate produced a fresh batch of supplements for their 2005 "Killer Collector's Edition," and about 75 percent of them are ported over to this Blu-ray version.

thing she could -- she ups the satire, and points as much fun at Bateman as the culture that spawned him. 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.
