Fight Club is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled, unnamed young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending support groups. Going from group to group, he encounters another pretender, the morose Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin.
While returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character, the subversive Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle fights. Fight Club soon becomes their only priority, and when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting crazy, like Durden himself.
Fight Club is a fantastic movie, with clever editing, flash frames, and a story that gets more unbelievable as it goes, from selling soap made from liposuction fat, to to violence of the fights. Recommended!
