Exactly. The whole point is that the main character is nothing but a sham, a living breathing delusion. He's so shallow and superficial that even when he lashes out against the shallow and superficial world he's surrounded himself with, it's nothing but more lies he tells himself so he can feel more important. He's in love with the fantasy of being a slasher, but like the corporate raiders of 80s, he's a psychopath without the fortitude to actually get his own hands dirty.
Few movies can manage even a single scene that stays in my mind forever. This one has two. The business card envy scene and the Huey Lewis scene. Both brilliant, funny, and disturbing.
