'Twas an incredible twist that made me root for this movie.

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2009)

Those who aren't familiar with the dark and haunting story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde should see this movie; it is a vivid representation of Robert Louise Stevenson's famous tale.
Edward Norton blew me off in his portrayal of the insomniac Jack, who probably leads the dullest life. That is, until he meets the intriguing Tyler Durden (or so he thought), played by Brad Pitt, who teaches him a philosophy he never thought plausible. There begins a partnership determined on developing an aggressive way for men to vent off emotion: a fight club. Most scenes were repulsive to me, seeing as I'm a minor who, in the first place, shouldn't have seen those scenes but hey, all the roughness was worth the patience for the ending did not disappoint. And by the way, Helena Bonham-Carter was, as usual, good. The whole movie was good. Pretty dark? Maybe. But then, not all good movies end brightly.
