I have only read the book and not seen the movie, I don't think the movie could ever be a as violent and descriptive as the book.
Ole' Bateman doesn't seem to hate his life, hence how he describes everything everybody is wearing in extreme detail and slaveing over his body and business cards like everyone else seems to do.
I think he just happens to be a serial killer/psycho within high society and no one close to him is willing to turn him in based on the fact that he his rich and socialites look out for one another and not step on each other's toes. just ignore other's deviant behaviors, even though it seems that he actually wants to be caught and sent to jail for what he does. Especially since he keeps leaving his house a mess for his maid to see and his friends house all bloody. And rountinely telling people what he has done.
Another thing is most people with pyschcatic complexs are confused about their sexuality, hence he violence towards more women than men and mainly women he's either attracted too or after he has sex with them.
I'm a chick and don't have the stomach for alot of violence even in books. It more worried me on how Ellis could come up with such fucked up ways to kill people.
