Starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Helena Bonham Carter
Film cover:

Trailer:


The movie talks about a narrator (Edward Norton) who suffers from insomnia. His doctor refuses to give him medicine and advises him to visit support groups, he then joins support groups that don't relate to his problem ex. cancer. But then he meets another person doing the same thing (going to support groups) Marla Singer (Bonham Carter). After a flight home from a business trip, the narrator finds his apartment destroyed by an explosion. He calls Tyler Durden (Pitt), a soap salesman who he had met in the plane, and they meet at a bar. After leaving the bar Durden knows the narrator is looking for a place to stay. He stays at Durden's place. Later they visit the bar again, after that Durden wants to know wether the narrator can fight, when was the last time he fought and such, so he asks the narrator to punch him, few punches from one another it leads to a (friendly) fight. This attracts other citizens to do the same thing. Soon it goes "officcial", they rent a special place to do fights every night. Durden and the narrator, being the leaders of it, set up a few rules and there assembles the "Fight club".

The film is good, it's old but it's good. The good film isn't that good with the good actors ofcourse who fit there perfectly. The director excluding the fight club has made other good movies I have seen like: "Se7en" (Seven) and the Social network. The Fight club is not booring to watch at all. It ends rather unexpectedly. So you can't predict what happens in the end, as you can in most of the Hollywood films.
