Split Decision

Rating: 7/10 (6 June 2000)

"Fight Club" is a type of film that will not totally knock you out with excitement, but it does go the distance thanks to some of its complex twists and turns. The movie is billed as Brad Pitt as its star. However, it is really the Edward Norton character which this film revolves around. To bill Pitt as the main actor, was a bit displeasing and just plain pitiful. This experimental story is about an underground fight club started by the Norton and Pitt characters. What I thought was worth fighting for was to have more of Norton and co-star Helena Bonham Carter dual scenes. Their chemistry was a unanimous winning duo! We just did not get enough of it. Also, I felt like throwing the towel a few times when I saw a bit too many long scenes that were not instrumental to the film's following striking developments. Finally, if you do go see "Fight Club" make sure you follow these two rules- 1) You do not tell anyone the ending of "Fight Club" 2) You do not tell anyone the ending of "Fight Club." *** Average
