It makes no sense. AGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2005)

1ST PARAGRAPH CONTAINS NO SPOILERS. This has all the hallmarks of a great movie, a very fluid sense of direction, cool cinematography, cool one-liners, and a fresh and innovative storyline. Slowly you start to notice gaps in the plot, which you accept because with a movie like this you know to expect a twist later on. As the movie progresses into anarchy you become increasingly more desperate to work out what the 'twist' is as the plot becomes more elaborate and nagging discrepancies are brought to the fore. You'll have a long wait cos its only revealed at the end of the movie and when you get there its like "WWHHHHAAAAAATT???", (pause for a few seconds as it filters in), "hmmmmm, maybe i wasn't paying proper attention, no problem i'll have another watch in a few days". With the 'knowledge' now sitting in your cerebral cortex you follow the story fully armed and only now you fully appreciate how big a cock-up the writer made.
SPOILERS FROM HEREON
For those that have seen this movie, if you do not agree, i think i only need to point to one scene. If you saw a guy in your local park or even a car park (as in the infamous scene where fight club is officially born) having a psychotic episode and trying really hard to hurt himself in an at first comical, but as the moments pass more disturbing, fashion (interlude: Have you realised how hard it is to use physical attacks on yourself? It is a physical impossibility for most of us to kick ourselves, apart from kicking the other leg, or punch anything but the head with force). Anyway back to psycho dude. So you see him and its about midnight; what do you do?
1. If your a good Samaritan you call an ambulance (and the mental health people).
2. If your a normal person you try your best to avoid him by keeping a distance of at least 20 yards at all times.
3. If your unhinged you help him accomplish his ever so difficult task of hurting himself.
What you do not do is say, "Hey dude, you're a great fighter. Wanna start up a fight club where we can all share our passion for self-mutilation on a weekly basis. You do? Great, we might also wanna erase the national credit history database without letting people know how we actually accomplished it by taking down a skyscraper." I know not to take this movie seriously but the fact that the writer having come up with a good plot twist, using that as the be all and end all of the movie, couldn't be bothered to finish the job and tie up all the loose ends that actually make up the story really drives me up the wall.
I'd appreciate it if anybody can confirm I'm not alone on this.
