Male bonding can be painful

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 1999)

Did you ever wonder what happened to your imaginary playmate? Maybe he grew up to be Tyler Durden. If nihilism is your thing and you feel emotionally disenfranchised, this is the movie for you. Mr. Fincher succeeds (love that designer soap) and fails (men in black) with the movie he presents. Creditable performances by Mr. Pitt and Mr. Norton, but Ms. Bonham Carter had a bad hair day. "American Beauty" has a better punch.
