Preposterous and Imbecilic

Rating: 4/10 (2 May 2000)

Okay, so the acting and the overall production was top-drawer, but absolutely nothing can overcome one of the most ridiculous storylines I have ever come across. I put this movie in the same category as David Cronenberg's "Crash", in that they both are obsessed with concepts so contrary to basic human nature, that they are totally inane and unbelievable. In "Crash", it is absurd to think there are really people who are sexually turned-on by bad car crashes; in "Fight Club", it is ridiculous to believe that there are people who enjoy getting pumelled. Thoughts of such concepts leave me so cold as to take away any possibility of enjoying the film.
