6/08: Is there a more sleep-inducing serial killer picture than American Psycho?

I don't think so. The acting is okay, but it's the dreadfully slow pace that has put me to sleep. I'm unable to make heads or tails out of what the story is about. The last thirty minutes is torturous to sit through as it transitions from "weird" to "bizarre." So, is the film a dream or reality? Most of the events have been either unrealistic or silly.

Bret Easton Ellis did a good job with Less Than Zero to highlight the characters' superficiality. The same treatment is applied again for American Psycho. Unfortunately, they're plastic stiffs, making it hard for me to care about what happens to them.

All in all, I can't manage to stay awake for the life of me while watching American Psycho.
