a strange mix that falls flat in the end

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 2000)

"SPOILERS AHEAD"
The first half of a very intriguing film falls short in the second half due to the twist at the end which makes Tyler Durdan just a joke. It would have worked so much better if Tyler was a separate character and if the film stayed on the Fight Club theme. Instead the film tries to impress us with tricky effects shots and it's dark tone. The fight scenes are staged very well though.
Three impressive performances from Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter should have been put in a much better movie than this mess.
** out of ****
