Releasing Frustrations

Rating: 4/10 (26 April 2001)

"The Fight Club" attempts to dramatize the frustrations of modern man caught up in routine and unfulfilling jobs . . . and ways in which this "pent-up steam" can be released through violent male bonding.
Unfortunately, the scripters got caught up in their own outrageous creations, taking their points to an ultimate extreme and ridiculous conclusion.
Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter all give admirable performances.
