A fantastic film that is more then just fighting

Rating: 9/10 (11 November 2014)

This film is considered a cult classic and it is clearly with great reason as this film looks at real life issues and it executes it fantastically. This film sees Edward Norton's character who is just an average person who meets Tyler Durden who is a completely crazy person and they start Fight Club which turns about to be much more. Edward Norton is great in the role as he truly conveys the idea that he is like us and a situation like his could end up to anybody like him and it helps make the character relatable. Then there is Brad Pitt's performance as Tyler Durden which is awesome as he is what every person wishes they were carefree and awesome, this is probably Pitt's wackiest performance and he is fantastic. Helena Bonham Carter plays the love interest and she does a really good job and her chemistry with Norton was really good also the guy who plays Norton's boss does a good job as he is the guy we are meant to dislike as he is the one who is holding back Norton's life. But I wish some other characters were more fleshed out and had provided more which is really the only reason it doesn't get a 10. The story is quite controversial but I love it because it focuses on social themes and situations that most directors wouldn't even bother looking at, also there is a twist in the film and it is a great twist that totally changes the film. The script is great with the dialogue between Pitt and Norton being great and some very memorable dialogue that is great. The style is quite violent but it is supposed to be as the story has fighting in it and it is also great because of the social implications. Overall it is a superb film that is fantastic and definitely worth a watch.
