Review
''You've been raised on television to believe we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And were very, very pissed off...''
Fight Club is narrated by a lonely, unfulfilled young man (Edward Norton) who finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness is attending disease support groups. Hopping from group to group, he encounters Marla Singer, who immediately gets under his skin. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character, the subversive Tyler Durden. They become fast friends, bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer-culture hypocrisy. Eventually, the two start Fight Club, which convenes in a bar basement where angry men get to vent their frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts.
