Ifilimu elithi "Ford ngokumelene noFerrari" kwakungeyena owokuqala lapho u-Bale noJosh Lucas bahlangana khona ndawonye. Emuva ngonyaka ka-2000, i-american psychopath yadedelwa kwizikrini, lapho bobabili abalingisi babehilelekile, kodwa, njengoba kwenzeka, khona-ke umdlalo we-Baila akazange athinte ozakwabo nhlobo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kamuva uLucas watshela ibheyili, ukuthi noma yena uqobo noma abanye ababambe iqhaza kuMariya Harron, ngenxa yefilimu yehlelo, abakwazanga ukuqonda ukuthi yini umKhristu uPatrick Bitman.
Engxoxweni yakamuva, uBale wathi abanye abahlanganyeli kwizisebenzi zefilimu babecabanga ukuthi "Wayengumlingisi omubi kakhulu ake wawabona," futhi akakwazanga ukuqonda ukuthi kungani umqondisi wazama kanzima ukumheha esithombeni. Umlingisi wabhekwa njengo "Esabi", kodwa, ngokusho kwakhe, "Wayengazi ngokuphelele ngalokhu kugxekwa."
Ngenhlanhla, umbono wendawo yonke useshintshile lapho nje i-American Psychopath engena kwizikrini. Uma ngibheka emuva, kungenzeka ukuthi usho ngokuqiniseka okugcwele ukuthi isimilo somKristu besingenangqondo, ngoba itheyipu yaba yinhlonipho futhi ifanelwe inhlonipho kubantu abaningi emhlabeni jikelele.
Futhi, ngokweqiniso, ngemuva kweminyaka engamashumi amabili, ngeke akwazi ukucabanga nge-Bailea nomlingisi okhuphukile, ikakhulukazi uma engabhekwa hhayi umdlalo wakhe wobuhlakani, kodwa imihlatshelo engokomzimba ayelakela ngayo ngokugcwele. Ukuphelelwa amandla, sithola isisindo futhi.
