Like the sixth sense, the twist creeps up on you so quietly you definitely have to watch this movie twice.

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2005)

The title suggests a random beat em up, the film is far from it. In fact, the film is a masterpiece of intelligence and features a script so descriptive it makes every line sound like a quote. The opening theme tune by Nine-Inch Nails is terrific and gives you the vibe needed to watch the rest of this astonishing movie. Edward Norton is a low-life. His life consists of what is in his kitchen and the testicular cancer group he gets addicted to ( even though he does not have testicular cancer.) Then he meets Brad Pitt, a soap salesman who has a completely different style of life, together, they create fight club, a club for men who want to get rid of stress by beating the crap out of each other and completing destructive "homework" assignments. The word of fight club spreads and soon, there are clubs starting all over the world. But as the fight club turns into more of a destructive group of hooligans, people begin to get in deep trouble and the truth is soon revealed. A great film that has to be seen twice to be appreciated. 10 out of 10.
