clever, provocative, mind blowing......

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2003)

Fight Club is clever, provocative, mind blowing, and humorus all rolled into one. An amazing black comedy based on the book by Chuck P. and directed by David Fincher. The cast includes Ed Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, and a cameo appearence by Meatloaf. From start to finish its a long twisted road of humor and wit with its anti corporate message. Jack ( Ed Norton) plays an insomniac absorbed in modern day conviences and designer furniture. When Jack visits a cancer support group and meets the big moosie, Bob ( Meatloaf ), he suddenly lets go and finds a cure for his insomnia. He becomes addicted to various support groups and finds sleep every night. Until Marla ( Helena Bonahm Carter ) ruins everything by showing up at one of Jack's support groups. Jack then falls back into insomnia and seeks a new way out. While traveling on a business trip he meets Tyler Durden ( Brad Pitt ) one of Jack's most interesting "single serving friends" he has ever met on an airplane. Tyler makes and sells soap to major department stores for a living. When Jack returns to his condo only to find it blowen to pieces he calls upon Tyler for a place to stay. Soon everything whirls out of control starting with a basement "Fight Club" and growing into "Project Mayhem." The ending will blow your mind, and leave you wanting to view this film again. See it twice this week.
