A recommendation by ASewell

ASewell's recommendation

I hate to admit it, but this movie adaptation inspired me to read the book that spawned it. I usually like it to be the other way around. However, it was so amazing that I found myself craving more from some source after the movie was over. So, I picked up the book. When it was available, I bought the DVD, and I rarely buy DVDs.

It even made me appreciate Brad Pitt as an actor. Before then I saw him as another Hollywood pretty boy, that did nothing but scab the face of acting. In this flick, he gave Tyler Durden substance, depth, an f'd up sense of humor and an incredible six-pack. Edward Norton as the unnamed narrator and confused, somnambulant protagonist is remarkable, pathetic and utterly convincing. I can't think of one actor in this film that didn't completely pull off, if not nail their performance; including Helena Bonham Carter as Marla Singer and Meatloaf...yes, the Meatloaf as Bob "Bitchtits" Paulson.

I laughed my ass off. I drew universal truths. I wanted to fight. I love this film.

Ed Norton and Brad Pitt fight it out in fight club. In typical Brad Pitt fashion, this movie has a crazy twist at the end that Nostradamus couldn't see coming. The premise of this movie is these two start an underground fight club (lead by Pitt) and then branch off into other business ventures. Very cool.

This is one of the most creative movies I have ever seen. Great twists and turns and a powerful ending. If you are a "guy's guy" then you can't help but want to BE Brad Pitt in this movie. Ed Norton is terrifc as well. This movie is highly entertaining.

I agree! It's everything I like in a great movie - dramatic, surprising, and unforgettable.

This is a movie is for:
1. Conflicted and repressed white dudes that have bought into the system

2. Alpha-male jockholes who like to break stuff (namely your face)

3. Ladies who secretly love alpha male barbarism and well toned abs

Yummy.
