I agree with the general thrust of your comments, though I don't know that I'd call the movie emotionless. Several of the characters seem emotionless--or, at least, their emotions are so refined and repressed that we can be forgiven for doubting that they possess them at all.
But the movie itself seems angry to me. It invites us to share Louis's sense of injustice, and to feel his rage at the way he and his mother have been treated. Indeed, by placing us so deeply into Louis's mind, it seems to invite us to share his sense that what he's doing is justified. The dark and ugly parts of him seem to be a natural outgrowth of his world: Who wouldn't react the way he does to such indignities?
Moreover, it says something frightening about this world that Louis fits into it as well as he does. He's so capable, so proficient; he seems perfectly suited to the world around him. He's not struggling to hide who he is and what he's doing; his manners and good breeding are enough to assure he won't be found out. This is a world where etiquette and charm are all that matter, and he has both in spades. In a sense, he's a good--even ideal--person, given the standards of the society in which he operates. It just so happens that he's also a serial murderer--but that sort of triviality shouldn't be weighted more heavily than his being a proper gentleman.
