A Stunning Black Satire

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2000)

This movie is an instant classic. I came into this movie expecting a commentary on this killer. It was a compelling look at someone who had a definite "Bloodlust" and acted on it. The main character is a symbol of the 80's all the excess and decadance was appaerent through him. His morning rituals, his obsession with the business cards, his music preferances.

The music in this movie does set the tone for this movie. Huey Lewis, Phil Collins, and Whitney Houston were on the radio constatly in the 80's and this movie uses that music when he does fall into his blind lust to kill.
Each scene is crafted so the main charachter overshadows all the other charachters.
If you go see this movie or have seen this movie. You have to understand that this movie is not a Black Comedy it is a Black Satire of the Whole 80's Decade. The Wall street setting, the cocaine use the use of the central character, the music and the Ending- the main characters final monologue with president Regan talking about the Iran/Contra hearings running in the background. Just stunning. Very symbolic movie.
