American Psycho

As I went spelunking for pre-Batman Christian Bale I stumbled upon 2000's American Psycho. Have you seen this? Can you explain it to me? It took repeated viewing before I caught the nuances of the plot, but once I did it seemed more average than when I was just guessing at what happened. The plot has issues, the supporting cast is subpar and flat. Bale, however, gives an energetic performance that is amusing for much of the film. He pulls off insane yuppie with very few hiccups. But that's about all the film has going for it. Some may find it amusing and/or understand it on the first pass, but everyone else will probably see this film for what it is; potential crushed under the immense weight of averageness.
