Fight Club

This has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. A cult classic movie that will have your head spinning at the end with twists and turns. Based off the book Fight Club by Chuck Palahnuik which is also a very good book.

The Narrator (which is what he is referred by) has a very pitiful life with a dead-end job at an insurance agency and goes and does damage statistics. He has insomnia and doesn't ever sleep which begins to get to him after 6 months. He tries going to a doctor to get sleep medicine but the doctor will not let him have a prescription. The doctor later tells him to go to Remaining Men Together: a testicular cancer survivors group. This is where the movie begins stepping up the pace. After the meeting he falls asleep like a baby. He becomes addicted to them and continues to go to random meetings to diseases and problems he doesn't have until Marla Singer begins coming to them. This messes up his sleeping and he than finally confronts her about it and she outwits him making him feel stupid. When I first watched this by this part I am completely entranced by the movie and can't stop watching it. While on a business trip for the company he works for he meets a man named Tyler Durden. This man is smart, capable, and a total beast.

Altogether this movie is amazing. A cult classic film that has probably been watched by just about everyone. 10 out of 10 and 2 thumbs up from Luis Jargens.
