I am Jack's Success in Cinema

Rating: 10/10 (14 May 2003)

This has got to be one of the best movies I've ever seen. Brad Pitt & Edward Norton pull out all the stops as two men who start up fight clubs as a new form of therapy.
I would normally talk about the plot here, but it's so hard to find where to begin. The story takes so many twists and turns that the usual person would be completely lost, but they're not. In a way, this is one of those movies that makes even the most incompetent human being feel smart... which is good.
I used to get into fights with my family about this movie; my Mom was outraged by the amount of violence and vandalism, and all I replied was, "Hey, you went to therapy, it takes different strokes to quit being so screwed up." Of course, I took martial arts and knew about the healing power of fighting and how it always released my stress. Apparently, Mom didn't get it.
Everything about this movie is awesome: the script, the characters, the acting, the special effects (the opening credits and scene showing how the Narrator's apartment was destroyed were so cool), everything. Unless you're against violence in any way, shape, or form, I highly recommend this movie.
