Fight Club
Chris's take
A journey into the psyche of a dispirited young man as he is driven down a path of spiritual redemption in the face of a lifetime of slavery to modern society. This film has it all, from humour and conflict to social commentary and a shocking twist, it is a unique offering that should not be missed.

Plot overview
A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.
