Great cast, excellent dialog, incredible twist in the end

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2003)

My advice is...don't read any more about this movie and just watch it. My roommate rented it and my expectations were low...only because I didn't know what to expect. Within 10 minutes I was hooked, and this is possibly the best movie I have seen in at least 5 years. This movie is about much more than fighting, but the fight sequences in it are visually entertaining, and the violence isn't over the top. Brad Pitt's character, Edward Norton's narration, and Meatloaf's supporting role are all top-notch...and the direction style is engrossing without being obnoxious (obnoxious like Oliver Stone, Or Quentin Tarintino, for instance). The entertaining dialog and bombshell of a plot twist will more than likely have you wathing this moive more than once.
