Fight Club - Movie Review

Truth be told, films adapted from books seem to never amount to more glory in the movie industry than an original film story would. The reason behind this is mainly due to the fact that a message delivered over hundreds of pages can never be the same as one with about two hours running time.

That being said, Fight Club is one of the most popular books in its category, and yet, its movie adaptation is highly regarded as one of the most thought-provoking and influential movies of all time. Edward Norton plays the role of a car salesman and Brad Pitt plays the charismatic Tyler Durden under the impeccable direction of David Fincher.

The movie follows the narrative style of the book and is narrated by Edward Norton’s character. The mesmerizing thing about Fight Club is how it’s going to take you by surprise.

It starts rather cautiously laying the ground for the epicness to come. Initially, you are brought into this universe where a car agency’s employee is having trouble sleeping, and can only go to sleep after emotionally breaking down in various support groups for ailments that he doesn’t suffer from. This dynamic continues to normalize until the moment he meets Tyler Durden, a soap manufacturer on a plane, and they get acquainted.
