What's the point?

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2000)

I'll be honest. I didn't get it. I know it was satire, but I couldn't see past all the violence to find the humor or any kind of statement about society. Nor do I believe the mass movie going audience will understand anything about this movie except that it's a quirky serial killer flick...and that's disturbing. Without a message this movie is just a bloody, twisted mess. And it's not even the actual violence that's so offensive. It's the complete lack of humanity Patrick Bateman displays. Maybe we as a society do need to look at that, but the only thing I took from this movie was nausea. That and some ugly scenes that may forever ruin several 80's songs for me. The last line of the movie pretty much sums it up...pointless.
