The movie IS great. You're supposed to be left wondering what is real and what is not. Also just how much can the rich and powerful get away with acting badly.

Bale's performance makes the movie.

In OP I showed how there was little wiggle-room in the interpretation of the narrative, the murders just didn't happen in almost all cases. If you go in imdb, the producer admits this flaw. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0144084/faq#.2.1.3

Do you disagree with the points I made? I'd like to know what you disagree on.

You are left with 2 possibilities: Either the murders were real or they were not. Either way it does not take away from the greatness and boldness of the film. I too feel the ending sucked but because it ended on such a flat note not because of the ambiguity. The film is called American Psycho so it is concerned with the psychology of its subject. We are given an inside glimpse inside his mind. At the end even he is unsure what to believe.
