| It was bound to happen, a cash in, direct to video sequel to
American Psycho. Gone is Christian Bale, but is that so bad?
Survey says: Kind of. We are left with Mila Kunis, better known as
Jackie from the TV series That 70's Show. But damn she is so
fine. But that still doesn't make this a good movie. Nope,
what we get is a half assed effort that is barely even qualified to carry
the American Psycho name.
The movie is hardly even related to the original. We do get a
fake ass want to be Patrick Bateman semi-look alike in the beginning.
His name is dropped a couple of times and that is about it. So
throughout the entire film I am left thinking, why does this have American
Psych in it's title?
Mila Kunis is still fun to watch though. God, do I ever love her
voice, I could listen to it all the time. But still she does give a
fairly memorable performance. I especially love how she can go from
innocent to crazy and back to innocent, within a minute. She is
great.
On another note, we still get a silly soundtrack that perfectly fits
the movies mood. The best song is by far the one that plays during
the first kill, it's great. It has to be heard to be believed, and
while it is playing you will wonder, what the hell?
Overall, it isn't that I am ripping on American Psycho 2, it is just
that I don't think it is a worthy enough film to carry the the American
Psycho label. But that is just me.
