Come And Have A Go If You Think You're Hard Enough!

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2000)

Can anyone really believe that Edward Norton is capable of holding his own in a fight? If you can get over this major credibility hurdle then this film is quite acceptable being a curiously-different black comedy with some great dramatic elements. Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter provide sound support.One criticism I have is that the movie is too long and loses direction in the second half, with one not sure where the plot is heading. A pruning of length would have helped. Oh yes,and we can't forget that Meat Loaf plays a guy with breasts. Mind you it is a tough guy with breasts that he plays. I wonder how his agent described the part to him."Hey, Meat, got a great part for ya! Big budget Hollywood movie. Brad Pitt's in it.It's a fight movie. Your part? well you play a tough guy with boobies.It'll pay well though."
