Not a Great Movie, but Interesting and Thought-Provoking.

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2004)

Fight Club is a strange movie, but is somehow saved by fresh formula and good performances. Many consider it the best of 1999. It isn't far from it, but just not a classic like many consider. Plot: Edward Norton plays an insomniac businessman. He encounters soap salesman Tyler Durden, who takes the businessman in after his home is destroyed. They soon form "fight club", a place where men find the pleasure of beating the dirt out of each other. Soon, the club becomes too serious and out of hand, as they start to cause murders. Who is causing this? Fight Club is a very difficult movie to understand, it is told segment by segment as the narrator (Norton) leads us into a great climax. Norton's name is never revealed, but there is a good purpose. Pitt gives good humorous scenes and the movie leads in the direction that I was expecting. Fight Club is flawed in some ways, but is still very thought-provoking and interesting.
8/10 stars.
