Exciting, thought-provoking, and Brad Pitt topless - what more could you want?!

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2002)

This film really exceeded my expectations. As well as being well acted, with a great script and storyline, it's got a good sense of humour and doesn't take itself too seriously. Perhaps because of this, the serious bits really have a lot of impact. It's a film that men and women will probably enjoy equally, which is too rare in my opinion. Brad Pitt proves again that he's not just a pretty face, and Edward Norton's performance is great. I even managed to get over my usual hatred of Helena Bonham Carter! Far far better than American Psycho, which has some similarities.
