I misunderstood what you meant about the nun's story. I thought you just meant that a nun and religious themes have no place in a Psycho movie. I agree that it is poorly handled in this movie though.
He's a bit of an asshole in the beginning (though a somewhat likable asshole imo) but that is part of what I find effective about the themes in the movie. Would a nice person do the same things as an Kevin Bacon if they had the power to get away with anything like he does? I consider myself a good person, but I often wonder. I think it would have been less interesting if they made him a nice guy to begin with.
That's why I said somewhat likable. I just think he was a bit too much of a dick at the start. Like I said though, Bacon played the part well, which made it less of a problem.
