the movie felt like a version of american psycho that took itself way too seriously and tried to romanticize the "troubled and disturbed vigilante" trope. having a bit more humor would have gone a long way i think. i'm not saying the movie should have been a comedy or anything, but something like the business card scene from american psycho would have helped. something to show that the movie wasn't taking itself so seriously. the movie just feels like watching them point at this guy and say "whoa he's pretty fucked up and twisted isn't he? aren't the streets so dirty and messy and full of crime? and he's really messed up and he doesn't like the grimy city."

it felt like the whole point of the movie was just to say "this is the day to day life of somebody who is messed up in the head, and by the way, we're going to try to make him look really cool and jaded", but that's not exactly a novel concept. i didn't gain anything from that. if they wanted to show a jaded and disturbed character, i think it would have been better to have a bit of a plot, and to make it so that more things actually happened in the movie
