Antiheroes In Movies That We Can’t Help But Love

Patrick Bateman – American Psycho

The Dissolve

We’re still not sure how they did it, but the makers of American Psycho managed to make a psychopathic murderer with an uncontrollable bloodlust the star of the show. It can’t be his unrelenting urge to torture and murder prostitutes and people who get in his way that makes us like him so much, so it must be everything else. Perhaps it’s his constant desire to fit in with a lifestyle that doesn’t agree with him — a totally understandable human emotion. Like most of us, he desires something else, except he just wants to murder people. It also doesn’t hurt that he has a bizarre sense of humor that you know is a robotic act in an attempt to appear normal.
