a cynical and intelligent cult classic.

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2001)

Fight Club is like a mix between; American Beauty, 12 Monkeys, and The Sixth Sense (but better). If you rented this movie for its title, you probably realized it wasn't what you expected about five minutes in. This movie has more to offer than a bunch of guys mutilating each other. It is narrated(in a dark monotone way) by the main character played by Edward Norton(American History X). Norton realizes his life sucks and his only way to unwind consists of purchasing furniture from catalogs, until Tyler Durden (played by Brad Pitt) comes along. I don't want to spoil it for you so I will just tell you, Fight Club is a definite cult classic with an ending that proves you can't watch it just once. This movie; is extremely well written, well acted, and contains many quotable lines(not to mention some very appropriate cinematography). If your looking for a dark, intelligent movie you must see Fight Club.
