Edward Norton stars as a confused young man in the not too distant future. With no family or close friends, he frequents cancer and disease groups as a way to bond with others, pretending to be terminally ill or feigning various other infirmities to fit in. Sick of his dead end, white bread, white collar corporate career and disgusted with the empty consumer culture that his generation has been doomed to inherit, he and a very devious friend named Tyler Durden create a new club where young men come to relieve their frustrations by beating each other to a pulp.

Tyler Durden quickly becomes a cult hero of epic proportions, a new messiah for a dead generation.

Soon underground "fight clubs" are formed in every town, until a sensuous eccentric played by Helene Bonham Carter gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.

Your e-mail:

Story: 7/10 - Based on the debut novel by recent University of Oregon graduate Chuck Palanihuk. It's a bit too long and the ending is somewhat over the top. The first hour is magnificent.

Acting: 7/10 - Edward Norton, probably the most gifted actor of his age, makes up for Brad Pitts acting inadequacies.

Violence: 8/10 - Lots of bloody fight sequences with the beating of Jared Leto as the most gruesome.

Nudity: 4/10 - Bonham Carter and Pitt flashes some skin during a weirdly filmed sex-scene.

Coolness: 9/10 - David Fincher is one of Hollywoods most innovative young directors, this is very hip and flashy movie. The soundtrack is by hipsters the dust brothers (Beck).

F/X: 10/10 - Excellent effects, Ed Nortons "suicide" is sheer brilliance.
