A rare action flick

Rating: Null/10 (28 August 2003)

This is movie is a great action movie, because it is, despite the constant brutal violence, not really the typical action movie. It is very original, and is a great study of a protagonist with schizophrenia. This movie IS realistic. People with schizophrenia (I know this because both my parents are shrinks) often feel the need to beat themselves and other things to a pulp because of the emptiness they feel.
This movie is tricksy in the way that A Beautiful Mind was tricksy, and I like movies that turn the tables like this.
Fight Club is entertaining and is a rare great action flick. It's also based on a great book, I hear (which I should have read beforehand), so I suppose that helps.
Chaw. Bloody Brilliant.
