For Guys Only

Rating: 9/10 (24 October 1999)

One of the most ambitious studio movies in a long time. I will not give away plot details or for that matter review the movie. I will however say this: I'm not sure how well many women would understand and appreciate the predominately male themes in this film. Then again, its not a film for the guy who sits there with his mind turned off. It is a very visual film but the essence of the film is contained in Edward Norton's voice overs, particularly in the first 30-45 min of the film. Many people I am sure will comment on the violence but they are missing the point - it is a catharsis of that evil which has long lurked in the hearts of men.
