alright i just watched this movie and have a question. what the hell ? did the guy kill the people and since societyaround him is so corrupt and because he is a CEO that it was covered up, or did he just imangine himself doing all this stuff cause he shows no emotion and he keeps everything bottled up?
 
agreed. the book does a better job explaining the story. the 80s was a crazy decade- with all them yuppies and their crazy lives.. book is a good read too, imo.
 
The book is waaaaaaay better than the movie, IMO. But the fact you are left hanging is Ellis' point of writing AP. I saw him at a signing for one of his newer books and someone asked him this question (for the most part) and he said it was up to the reader to decide whether the murders did or did not happen.
 
i was given the book by a friend who saw i had the movie. they're both good- it's one of my fav. movies, sick n' twisted i kno- but i like christian bale's acting style.
 
I think they left it like that on purpose. You can either interpret it as he killed everyone or it was all in his mind. Sounds like the book was similar. Now go watch Donnie Darko

I think they came out with a directors cut of it. I want to see it again as well.
