For one thing, I love watching Christian Bale. I also love the theme of it being a psychological thriller. I love how it dives in the mind of the type of person who most people think lives a perfect life. It adds humanity to a tiny group of people in this world who honestly have little to no character outside of greed materialism. It takes those traits and adds to it with the central character who plays a investment banker/serial killer. Obviously it's bad to kill people, but you have to feel for Bale given what he has to go through. Born rich and unable to fulfill his spiritual needs because he is surrounded by reminders of a life that doesn't make him happy. He wants to fit in but the rest of his coworkers hold some sort of resentment to him to some degree. Everyone has that one part of their subconscious that wants to let it all out and go crazy. This film exploits that and that's why it is so unique in its message.
