Is this considered divisive work? Please share your thoughts.

Best work of his entire career. Every single line reading is dripping with palpable irony, and the way he is able to balance the disparate tones of the film by serving as the film's anchor is incredibly impressive. He's my Best Actor win for 2000, just narrowly over Tom Hanks in Cast Away.

I personally can't stand the performance or the film itself. It's rare that Mike and I disagree so wholeheartedly, but yeah, I hate it.

For sure his best performance ever. Dark comedy doesn't get much better.

I love it. One of my favourite male performances of the 2000's.

It's definitely divisive. There are people who love it and people who hate it. As you already see in this thread. I am certainly in the camp who think his performance there is terrible.

I'm not a big fan of Bale but he's great there, probably his best performance.

Loved him in American Psycho. He literally brought Patrick Bateman to life. (and I can't picture any other actor in that role after I saw it. I believe the studio initially wanted Leo for the role and that would have been so wrong in so many ways. I love Leo as an actor but he looked like a teenager at the time lol) .

Brilliant performance, and possibly still Bale's best too. He's just oozie with wonderfully maniac craziness & energy. "TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW, YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!"

YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!" Yeah I loved his delivery there . And I still can't believe he was only like 25 when they filmed that movie.

I just love all his random speeches in the film too. "I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip."

He has his moments, but I just hate the film so much.
