The film is based on the 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk. Fight Club was visceral, inflammatory and, above all, entertaining. The film stars stars Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. Norton plays the unnamed narrator beset by discontent over his white-collar job. He forms a “fight club” with soap salesman Tyler Durden. Writer Chuck Palahniuk himself has applauded Fincher’s adaptation.
