best movie this year

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 1999)

I had heard a little about the film before watching it and was rather ambivalent about it. On walking out of the theater, I had no doubts that this was the best movie I had seen all year, and possibly ever. Pitt plays the extrovert/devil superbly and Norton is superb not only onscreen (he's in 99% of the shots) but also with his voice over narration. The film is violent - but that's what its about. It is also very funny and witty in places. Many reviews complain that the last half of the film loses it a bit and while the final scene is a bit much these actions are presented as the logical conclusion for these men to attempt to reclaim what modern, consumerist life has stripped them of
The film is a must see. Not only is it thought provoking but also extremely well made and entertaining
