AMERICAN PSYCHO II: ALL AMERICAN GIRL

Rachel Newman, since the age of twelve, when she survived the murderous rage of Bateman, has one dream: to join the FBI to stop all serial killers. Once she turns eighteen, she decides to enroll in the Behavioral Studies Program at West Washington College, where students learn the art and techniques to identify maniacs and killers, with the aspiration of becoming the right-hand man of a renowned professor collaborating with the FBI. Unfortunately for her, there are several aspiring assistants vying for that position, but the girl does not lose heart and, one by one, will find a way to eliminate all her rivals... A "commercial" sequel to Mary Harron's "American Psycho," but for this new film, director M.J. Freeman does not draw inspiration from any novel by Bret Easton Ellis. This is a film of staggering stupidity: banal, predictable, ironic but in an "irritating" way. The only positive notes are provided by the presence of veteran William Shatner—who, by the way, is quite overweight—and who many will remember in the unforgettable role of Captain Kirk in the "Star Trek" saga, and the beautiful—and, for once, quite good—lead actress, Ukrainian actress Mila Kunis. A bit too little to save a movie that feels like pure "commercial product," yet another insult to good taste and the intelligence of the viewers! Perhaps it will only attract a certain type of audience, very young, but the advice is to avoid it anyway!
