Fight Club (DVD 2004)

Fight Club is a fantastic film about the mind-numbing meaninglessness that traps so many in our consumerist society. The unnamed central character, played by Edward Norton, is looking for a way to escape, and that's when he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) who, amongst other things, introduces him to the simple joys of fighting. Through the Fight Club they establish, he is able to feel alive again, but there is a lot more to Tyler than meets the eye... Superbly shot and directed, with excellent performances from all the main actors (particularly Pitt, Norton and Helena Bonham Carter), this atmospheric and psychological film is one of the best things to come out of Hollywood in recent years. Look out for the 'mini' Brad Pitt's that are there for a split second on the bottom right hand side of your screen, they appear approx 5 times througout the film. Also a fantastic role 'Bob' played by Meatloaf.
