...disapprovals. The plot in a nutshell: Norton, disillusioned with his yuppiedom, finds solace in beating Brad Pitt to a bloody pulp (and vice versa). Suddenly, fighting becomes a way for men to unleash their anger without limits or consequence. But, of course, mayhem ensues. It's a David Fincher flick; he's one of my favorite directors because he never gives you an "easy" movie.

As David Fincher did with Seven, Schumacher drenches his film with atmospheric feeling, turning darkness into its own entity. He is able to make the most simple of scenes, such as walking through an airport, appear ominous, and he uses the steady hum of the eight millimeter projector to create a sense...
