American Psycho

American Psycho (2000) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Mary Harron adapted Bret Easton Ellis's notorious novel with Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman — a Manhattan investment banker in 1987 whose immaculate daily routine of business cards, designer suits and restaurant reservations coexists with something considerably darker.

Bateman's colleagues see a polished professional. His fiancée Evelyn (Reese Witherspoon) sees a suitable husband. Jean, his assistant played by Chloë Sevigny, senses something she can't name. When his coworker Paul Allen — Jared Leto — disappears, detective Donald Kimball (Willem Dafoe) starts asking questions. Whether Bateman's escalating inner world is confession or delusion is a question the film leaves deliberately open.

Shot for $7 million through Lionsgate and Muse Productions, Harron's adaptation turned a seemingly unfilmable book into a sharp satire of American masculine ambition. Bale committed to the role after Leonardo DiCaprio passed — and built a performance that has never really left the cultural conversation. Stream American Psycho (2000) on iFILM.
