Tyler Durhem rules!
A wildly exaggerated black satire delivered with a wink and a glossy black eye. Ed Nortan's corporate drone is the perfect persona to set off Brad Pitt's wonderfully witty and outrageously glam character Tyler Durhem who lives life on his own terms. A stylish and hip treatment of an age old dilemma: How does one avoid being owned / controlled by corporations and losing one's inner and outer self to plastic consumerism and wretched materialism. A high concept cinematic outing handled with twisted humor , high octane energy and comic book graphics .

ZERO stars-possibly the most overrated film ever
Wow, violence exists, people can fight and they can get hurt and learn things about themselves! But don't talk about it! People who are impressed by this movie might want to read a few books instead of trying to learn life lessons from bad movies.

If it weren't for prepubescent males with more testosterone than brain cells, this movie would have received no attention at all. A nice performance by Norton, but nothing else to recommend it. Those individuals who have written reviews stating that this movie is thought provoking or intellectually intense clearly are lacking any substantial intellectual horsepower.

The book, while nothing special, is infinitely better than the movie.

A real K.O.
Whoever has seen the trailer of Fight Club will think that knows what it is about: a bunch of bored masochistic men that almost kill each other to prove they're alive. Ah, and stars Edward Norton and Brad Pitt.

Truth is, that's only part of the package.

Fight Club is a dark and nihilistic saga about the life of average men, at the brink of a new century. A right -or left- hook through the solar plexus of movie goers. A wake-up call to reality.

Norton serves as an anonymous narrator; he's an average Joe, with a mindless job, drown in boredom, hungry for status and motivation; until he meets Tyler Durhem, a rebel soul that lives to impress others.

Everything in Tyler is unusual: his wardrobe, his shameful way of saying things, his eagerness to look for fights. It doesn't take much time to lure the narrator to one of his fights and found The Fight Club, where the prerequisite to belong is to not speak of fight club.

The intern fights are not enough, the pranks emerge. One step at a time, the club prepares to a bigger goal: massive destruction. And Tyler's and the narrator's relationship get fishy.

Norton and Pitt throw themselves into their characters with such craft it's impossible to recognize them. Pitt is very convincing as the relentless Tyler; Norton finds a way to exude his wrath and confusion although his character is very cold.

While Norton and Pitt try to see who will first break each other's nose, Fight Club lets out to the surface a splendid critic about greed, the waste of our consumit society, our egotistic aptitudes and the violent nature of men whose only contact comes when they are beating each other.

No, Fight Club is not another movie of men throwing punches without reason, consumed by violence and self-pity.

Good for that!
