The director of American Psycho had Dafoe play each of Kimble’s meetings with Bateman in three different ways;
1. That Kimble knew that Patrick had done the killings.
2. That he didn’t know, but suspected.
3. That he didn’t suspect Patrick at all. .
Those three takes were cut together as one scene. His demeanor changes within the cuts to Patrick then back to him. The purpose was to keep the scene extremely tense yet completely uncertain for the audience. .

Your thoughts on the prolific Christian Bale?
Even though #LeonardoDiCaprio declined the role for #AmericanPsycho, #ChristianBale was warned by many that it would be career suicide for him to play the lead in a film like this. This only made him more eager to take the part. Fortunately for him, the opposite turned out to be true. Bale's role in the movie was considered a breakthrough performance, and enabled him to shift his career from supporting roles to leading man status in the decades to come. This finally culminated in roles in the #Batman and #Terminator franchises, wide critical acclaim, as well as several movie awards nominations.

American Psycho (2000)
Patrick Bateman: 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.
