I've always felt that there are some real parts and some clearly delusional parts, while there's a HUGE gray area where it can be whatever you want it to be. However, some parts are clearly defined. For example, when Bateman shoots the police car with a handgun and it blows up, he proceeds to look at his handgun like "WTF?!". That part is clearly delusional.
However, I've only seen the movie so your answer may be more precise. Either way, it is an amazing movie and very eerie assessment of the nature of Wall Street.
I agree with this
The scene with the cop cars getting blown up was clearly delusion
The scene where he's chasing the hooker with the chainsaw (the one scene in the movie that I thought sort of "broke character" and wasn't consistent with the rest of the movie) I thought was real because we were seeing her discovery body parts and that was from her perspective, not his.
I think the movie is more about the general time period in American History- the 80's than just about Wall St.
I'm going to watch it again and keep score
