The summary says it all. While this film would have worked good under another title, it sucks as an AP sequel. I watched this movie before the first, and I have to say that I was quite impressed. I enjoyed the performances, the direction and the twist in the storyline. So I rented the first movie. I watched the first one, and again was very impressed. Very clever and very mind boggling... BUT it didn't, couldn't and wouldn't (no matter which way you think about it) link to the second. "American Psycho" isn't about killing people. It's about the mind. "American Psycho 2" is about... killing people, and it tries to make out that AP was too.... The more you try and link them together, the more they move apart. Enjoy these as two seperate movies. It isn't true that if you liked the first one you'll hate the second and vicer versa. You can like both movies, as long as you think of them in that way.
