Watch American Psycho II: All American Girl For Free

Admirable film.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

American Psycho 2 (2002)It goes without saying, American Psycho is a bonafide classic. Christian Bale's portrayal of Patrick Bateman is possibly his most memorable performance ever. The DVD cover to American Psycho 2 reminds its audience of this by plastering the info in large letters across the front - THE SEQUEL TO THE BOX OFFICE HIT!To honest, I never knew of American Psycho 2 existence until I stumbled across it at a local store. Against better judgement, curiosity got the better of me, as I had to see what part two could possibly offer?The short answer is - American Psycho 2 has absolutely nothing to offer! Everything that made the original film a classic is missing from part 2. It is such a boring film. The story about a girl who will stop at nothing to become a college professors assistant, sounds like a non starter from the get-go, and it is. The film has all the menace of a teatime Aussie soap opera, as that's how clean a colourful it looks. Even the choice of audio is up beat happy most of the time.Rachael played by Mila Kunis looks pretty, and is blessed to ample charms. Professor Starkman, played by William Shatner, the guy better known for appearing in Star Trek adds some weight, as the rest of the cast are better suited to happy TV shows. Picture quality looks professional enough. Sadly this is where the positives end.

There is a lot of voice-over toward the front end of the film, and voice-over later on. This is usually a sign of not enough attention being paid to developing the screenplay.Rachel has, for good reasons, more than a bit of a fixation on Patrick Bateman from the first American Psycho film. When she reaches university, she wants to be the assistant of Robert Starkman, a former FBI profiler renowned for catching serial killers. She wants to know everything he can possibly teach her. The assistant position would also likely mean she would get a choice entry into training at Quantico.She has some competition for the position, though. What is the movie about? It's about whether or not anyone catches up to the extraordinary methods that she used to eliminate the competition.The visual quality of the version that Netflix screened was not all that good. The usage of camera was all rather pedestrian as well. The large percentage of voice-over was not a plus. Still, the film had a beginning, a middle, and an end, with reasonable connections from scene to scene.

At the age of 12, Rachael (Mila Kunis) is held captive by Patrick Bateman along with her babysitter. She manages to escape leaving behind a dead Patrick. She doesn't tell anybody and becomes fascinated with psycho killers. Six years later, she's an ace student eagerly attending professor Starkman (William Shatner)'s class. She is pushing to be the new class assistant and on the fast track to the FBI. But the school administrator doesn't let freshmen apply. That's before she was murdered by a hooded killer. Brian (Robin Dunne) is a scheming rich boy with poor grades who is underhandedly pushing for the same job.Mary Harron is gone. Of course, Christian Bale is nowhere to be seen. That's not all there is to the changes. The tone is all light weight. It feels like Nancy Drew takes up killing. That music just makes everything worst. So one must abandon the original to see this movie for what it is and not what one wants it to be. A serial killing Nancy Drew is not the worst concept. I wish it was done better and without that annoying music. About halfway thru, there is a nice little reveal. It changes the tone temporarily to something better but it changes back. That music and the comical tone just makes this movie feel very cheesy. Even the final reveal which is nice cannot save this.

OK, I feel as though that there could have been a lot more done with the film, but for some odd reason the movie was shot in 20 days, not much room for a true masterpiece to be created in my perspective. A lot of people were critiquing Mila Kunis's acting in the film and how they found her sexy but yet annoying, well she was really young, like 16 or 17 years old I believe she said,but obviously she is given these roles and well respected as an actress for a reason, and she worked the role to the best of her abilities, yet i digress.. the movie picks up at Patrick Bateman's demise, she was supposed to be being watched by her baby sitter, but was tagged along on a horrific evening on which she was luckily able to survive from, but it was to be expected, to kill the little girl would have been cruel and ended the movie very quickly, especially since that is what are plot is based upon. My problem with the film is only this, I understand she only stayed in college due to the fact that she killed the actual Rachel Newman and had taken her identity, and that she eagerly desired to be an FBI agent to bring justice and prevent things such as what happened to her baby sitter from happening again to anyone else and could only further her chances of achieving that goal by becoming the professor's assistant. My question is, was her character equally demented as Patrick Bateman to top the 1st, because her pursuit overclouded her judgement, and that in itself I suppose answered my own question, but the very reason for killing all of these people defeated her purpose for being there, that's my problem. She was a very smart woman though and made it a very entertaining film to watch, it was given sex appeal with out the sex, she was very good about how she tidied up her messes and how she extracted her kills, yes it may have been less gory, but smart & sexy to say the least, I do not intend to judge upon how attractive she was,cause she is, but it was well acted, but that's just my opinion, watch it again if you must, really dig deep into the plot, do some research on how it was filmed, and let it be judged by that
