MAD COOL MOVIE

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2000)

When Fight Club first came out, I really didn't want to see it. My friend tried to persuade me, but I thought it would just be a movie with Brad Pitt walking around without a shirt for 2 hours, and guys beating the hell out of each other. However, I just finished watching (the same friend finally convinced me) and it was MAD AWESOME!!! I managed to mix awesome blood and violence while successfully satirizing pop culture and modern masculinity. I could tell that it was going to be cool when I first saw Brad Pitt flash in for a frame three times in the opening scenes (my friend didn't see it, but he did see the giant wiener at the end, go figure). Basically, do yourself a favor and watch this movie, you'll like it.
