Great book, great movie, great acting

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2000)

If there's one movie out there that really makes you evaluate today's society, this has got to be it. The convincing performances by Pitt and especially by Norton allow you to lose yourself in the story. If you haven't read the book, you should. It is only about 200-some pages but is just as compelling as the movie. Another thing I love about this movie is how quotable it is. The sharp narration and dialogue is derived mostly from the book, but some was not and the presentation of it is simply superb. Norton should have won an Oscar for his performance. If you haven't seen him in Primal Fear and American History X, definitely do so. Pitt is also extremely witty in what is his best role to date. His sex-symbol status aside, the guy can really act! As I said before, the movie will certainly change the way you look at how you live your life and what you work towards achieving.
