This is an exceptional film!

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2001)

I have to admit-this is my favorite movie! And no, I'm not a teenage guy OR a card-carrying member of the "Brad Pitt is a God" Fan Club. I'm 28 years old (26 when I first saw it) and female. I saw it twice in the theatre and countless times on home video/DVD. Actually, since the film was first released on DVD, I went out and bought a DVD player so I did not have to wait until it was available on video.
My instinct is to say that I cannot imagine anyone not liking this film. However, I understand-it's a dark, anti-social, subversive film. It's not your typical, run-of-the-mill "Hollywood" movie. It's also one of the funniest, most well-written, well-acted pieces of cinema I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Ed Norton truly was snubbed by Oscar, as was the writer, director, and cinematographer. It was good to see Brad Pitt get his hands dirty with this role. I also greatly enjoyed Helena Bonham Carter (whom I had never really cared for until now).
Another huge reason to watch is the unpredictability of it all. I could not have predicted this film even if I wanted to! Please-if you haven't seen this movie, give it a chance-you WILL be surprised! In exchange for two hours of your time and three bucks to rent it, you will have one helluva ride!
