An car company employee and a soap salesman start their own form of "therapy."

Review by Andrew B., from Cut Bank, Montana, on 22-Mar-2008

Looking at the title for this movie you probably think the genre should be under action/adventure, but if you watched it you would understand this movie has multiple layers in it. David Fincher (the director) has a reputation for doing films that are visual masterpieces and that have deep storylines. Edward Norton gives (in my opinion) his greatest performance and Brad Pitt follows up strong. But I think Helena Bonham Carter did the best. Why? Because she not only gives a VERY believable performance but she owns that character.
I think that narration should never carry the story. That should be the job of the on screen actors' job. But in this movie the narration makes the story unique and special and when the "turnover" occurs everything falls into place. There is so much to say about this movie that I just don't have the time to do.
On a side note: Make sure to watch very carefully before they introduce Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) into the movie and turn your volume HIGH on the ending scene. It'll knock your socks off!!!
