I watched American Psycho today for the first time. I was visiting a friend of mine and he had recently purchased it on DVD, so we decided to watch it. He'd already seen it and loved the movie, while I was going into it completely blind.
It was a really interesting movie. I want to say that the movie was somewhere just over two hours long, but I'm not exactly sure. I was getting really into the movie after just over an hour of view time, and was looking forward to seeing what major challenge the main character would have to overcome, or whatever was going to happen. I'm not exactly a big film buff; I had no idea what was going to happen, missed all of the foreshadowing, and was completely enthralled with the movie. I kept on wondering aloud about weird things that were happening on-screen, and commenting on things that didn't make sense, but hadn't begun to piece together the major twist (that I didn't know existed, of course, so I wasn't looking for it or anything) in the movie yet.
After a solid 90 or so minutes into the movie, my friend's sister enters the living room and decides to sit down and join us. I'd put us just before the scene with pinpoint chainsaw dropping; in other words, just prior to things starting to get "less believable," if you will.
After a few minutes of watching the film, she blurts out:
"Oh! I think I've seen this movie before! He only imagined killing those people, right?"
