I am Jack's stunned mind

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2001)

Fight Club is unlike anything you have ever seen. It is at a dark comedy, a social commentary, a twisted love story, and finally a total assualt to your senses. Edward Norton plays the narrator, a biting commentary on the facelessness of our society. He is suffering from insomia when he starts to go to self help groups. The groups help him sleep. Helena Boheim Carter plays Marla a fellow support group faker whom the narrator despises. When we meet Tyler Durden we know he's trouble. Tyler comments on how the proper mixture of OJ and gasoline will make Napalm. Durden is brilliantly played by Brad Pitt, he plays Durden as a sadistic anarchist, who believes society should de-evolve from its friendly nature. Tyler and the narrator form Fight Club, a club that the basic goal is to beat the crap out of one and another. It is a brutal club based on a idea of infinite freedom. The club slowly evolves into a sick little militia called Project Mayhem. The rest of them movie is a sick little game between Tyler and the Narrator. The end result being the stunning truth about their relationship. Fight Club is ingenious and it isn't for everyone. The movie is bizzare and shocking it is twisted and brilliant. The movie is one stunning twist after another and it is a testament to Finchers genius. This is a fantastic movie and I would recomend it to everyone.
