Going to watch the movie again in the next 48h to refresh my memory.
Keeping my spot 'cause this thread is already among my favorites.
Hope other people do the same as the topic is well worth it.
Now that I have seen it again :
The bad
The scenario is sometimes so exagerated, so caricatural, that you can suddenly feel out of the movie (example - Patrick Bateman is never caught working - at all - his psychotic interjections are never challenged)
Very simple camera angles (think Robocop) when something more phobic or poetic would have been useful.
Some bad acting moments make the movie seem oh so kitsh. Even though the general exagerations in tone and the artificial tension in the dialogues are otherwise instrumental in decribing the whole 80's as fake.
Most caracters are not really interesting.
The good
Fascinating scenes and satyrical story/context.
The main caracter, and the way he interacts with some of his friends.
The ending (I actually liked it) where reality itself becomes increasingly disbelievable. Both the killings having really happened and being just in PB's head are plausible although you prefer to believe none and instead rely on the athmosphere. For example, the apartment might have been cleaned by the real estate people so that the value would not go down. Just as it might have never happened. You prefer not to focus on it and instead await the next indication eagerly.
