"I want you to hit me as hard as you can..."

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 1999)

"I want you to hit me as hard as you can," says Brad Pitt (Seven, 12 Monkeys), challenging Edward Norton (American History X) in this violently charming film. Dark, hell practically black, humor woven with realistic brutal violence mark this movie as one of my favorites. And yes, a girl can like this movie. Although most of the audience were males between the ages of 18-26 by my guess. David Fincher who directed Seven, also with Pitt, and The Game follows his style with the dark atmosphere and strange coloring. The disoriented and manic scenes almost made you feel as if you'd been in a fight. At times when the fighting got intense, a humorous scene or line (usually by Brad Pitt) followed, breaking up the somewhat harshness. Don't be afraid to like this movie, because if you are... I'll break your arm:)
