All films take a certain suspension of disbelief. Fight Club takes perhaps more than others, but if you're willing to let yourself get caught up in the anarchy, this film, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is a modern-day morality play warning of the decay of society. Edward Norton is the unnamed protagonist, a man going through life on cruise control, feeling nothing. To fill his hours, he begins attending support groups and 12-step meetings. True, he isn't actually afflicted with the problems, but he finds solace in the groups. This is destroyed, however, when he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), also faking her way through groups. Spiraling back into insomnia, Norton finds his life is changed once again, by a chance encounter with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), whose forthright style and no-nonsense way of taking what he wants appeal to our narrator. Tyler and the protagonist find a new way to feel release: they fight. They fight each other, and then as others are attracted to their ways, they fight the men who come to join their newly formed Fight Club. Marla begins a destructive affair with Tyler, and things fly out of control, as Fight Club grows into a nationwide fascist group that escapes the protagonist's control. Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. --Jenny Brown

I am a big dvd collector and I usually buy movies that I don't regret buying but buying Fight Club was a regret and a waste of my money. I watched the movie once and couldn't make any sense of it but I knew there were a lot of people who do like this movie so I decided to give it another chance and watch it again. I watched the second time and found it to be even worse than the first time. This movie has no real plot and what the movie trys to use as the plot is about the worst plot possible. I think Brad Pitt is a great actor but this had to be one of the worst movies in his career in my opinion.
The movie that revolutionized and spawned its own groups today. March 22, 2009

This film has it all: comedy, drama, romance, conflict, horror, the perfect recipe for a great movie.
It's 2009 and it's still on my top 5 best moves ever made March 2, 2009

This film has defined an entire generation of corporate-working, material junkies whose spiritual path got cluttered with Ikea tables, television infomercials, and ball-less Ray Romano-like portrayals of what men should act like. Paul Palanuik's novel is perfectly adopted into an innovative visual masterpiece by David Pincher (who was at the height of his career, just came off of his other masterpiece - Seven). Throw in the acting talents of Brad Pitt, Edward Norton (who was also at the height of his career at the time with films like Primal Fear, American History X, etc) and Helena Bonham Carter and you got yourself a classic.

Dear people,
Do you do things as part of your job that are probably wrong? Do you feel powerless, controled by 'the man'?
Well forget about solving your problems, why not just beat other people up who are in similar plights? As a hobby!!
When this movie became a cult classic, every old railroad tyrant from the gilded age probably rolled over in there grave and said "Dang! Why didn't I think of that?"
And of course, after the making of this movie, some people even started thier own little imitation fight clubs. Talk about dumbing us down.
And it was supposedly disturbing to some people how the tower explosion scene resembled 9-11. Well of course. That's the real outcome of a sadist fantasy.
