FIGHT CLUB is narrated by (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort is pretending to be terminally ill and attending disease support groups. Drifting from group to group, he meets another pretender, or tourist, e Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter), who immediately gets under his skin. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character -- Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt). They become fast friends, over a shared dislike for big business consumer-culture hypocrisy. With this, the two start Fight Club, which meets in a bar basement where angry men get to play out their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle duals. Fight Club soon becomes the men's only real priority; when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start to get really crazy.
Like Tyler Durden himself, director David Fincher's FIGHT CLUB, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is startlingly aggressive and mischievous as it attacks the superficiality of American pop culture.Great performances by Norton and Pitt are supported by a razor-sharp script and a plethora of stunning visual effects including computer animation and slick editing. One of the most stand out films of the late 20th century, FIGHT CLUB is a black comedy of un-nerving intensity
