American Psycho I've watched "American Psycho" last evening. The movie is terrific, it's main hero is a kind of surrealistic villain and the movie shows a progression of his psychosis. But that is not all the plot is about. It has a great, unpredictable final. I like this film, it has all of what any great movie should have: good acting and strong intriguing plot. After I've watched that film I found out that it could be directed by David Cronenberg, the one of my favorite directors. But for some reasons Cronenberg declined. Now I just wonder how it would be if "American Psycho" was directed by Cronenberg. I now also, that Cronenber was willing to be a director for "Total Recall" but it wasn't happen.

[Very good, just minor errors.  'It's' is a contraction for 'it is', 'its' is the possessive of 'it', which is what you wanted in this case.]

I think you are right, since main hero most of the time looks like a normal, but some times he is killing people. I should probably say about psychopathy, not psychosis. As I understand psychosis is a kind of state which is too hard to have a decent relations with reality. Sociopathy seems too light for the main hero's behavior.

I'm not sure if 'psychosis' is the word that means what you are describing. A more correct term might be 'psychopathy' or 'sociopathy', but even these might be completely accurate. Perhaps just 'evil' or 'immorality' is best. The reason I say that the first two terms might not be accurate is that, according to my friend, they do not describe all bad people. He drew a distinction between a common bully and a sociopath. At the moment though, the details don't come to my mind. I'm sure you know how to research it if you're interested.
