a winning combination of plot, action and social commentary

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 2009)

Director David Fincher searches for lost masculinity within the café & latte' world of Starbucks and Ikea. Tyler Durdin (Brad Pitt) poses "how do you know anything about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" to narrator (Ed Norton, Jr.) after a rescue from his "single serving" life where insomnia leads his mind and body on a quest that he doesn't understand. A Fight Club evolves whose premise is "do not ask questions" and that meaning will follow your actions, a foundation of virtually every self help group, a comedic twist from where we first find the narrator and his neurotic faker Marla (Helena Bonham Carter). An evolution through destruction leads to a newfound freedom, but by no limit of the imagination!
