In a word .......... Wow!!!!!

"Now a question of etiquette; as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?"

Edward Norton gives a spectacular performance as a man who hates his life! We meet the depressed narrator Jack, who works at a car company and has insomnia. He hasn't slept in approximately half a year and eventually he finds solace in self-help groups where he can let go and cry until he's out of tears, thus stopping the insomnia.

Everything's fine until another faker Marla (Bonham Carter) starts showing up at the meetings (even the ones for testicular cancer) which disrupt Jack’s pattern of breaking down and crying. So once again, he cannot go back to sleep at night.

Jack is sent by his boss on a business trip and on one of the flights he meets the mysterious Tyler Durden(Brad Pitt), a guy who spends...

Looking back, it's really far more a smug indie comedy than serious drama and I can't quite believe that anyone really took it seriously. It was for all intents and purposes the death knell of said generation even though we didn't really see it at ...

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie is absolutely amazing. I had heard about it from friends for years, but I never saw it, tossing it aside as a mindless, beat-the-crap-out-of-each-other kind of movie. Boy, was I wrong. The first thing you have to realize about Fight Club is that it is not for the faint of heart. The actual fighting in this movie will make you queasy, but it is imperative. You may think, well, these guys are crazy because their is no other reason for doing this to themselves. Wrong! Once you realize that everything in this movie is about self-enlightenment it will start to come together. In the meantime, though, the acting will definitely keep you interested. Brad Pitt is phenomenal and Edward Norton makes the movie worth seeing. Why neither were nominated for Oscars is beyond me. But the plot i...
