VisualFX
Not much but there is a cool opening sequence where you see the inside of the human brain and all the neurons. Has great camerawork and visual style as well. No shot in the movie looks fake (except that penguin but it's probably supposed to look like that). 90%
Storyline
This is more to do with characters than story but it is about a guy who starts up a secret club where men go to fight eachother and that eventually evolves into a terrorist group that wants to takes revenge against corporations. I reallly can't say much more without giving it away. 75%
SoundFX
Pretty good - the sounds of the punches are realistic, has a great score too with many decent tracks by good artists. 85%
Violent factor
Very violent and sometimes gory as we see people getting bashed to a pulp with bloody faces, and other violent scenes. 97%
Acting
Edward Norton is a tour de force in this movie as he depicts the everyman who is going crazy with his empty existence. I thought he sold the irony and dark humour really well. Guy is a really great actor. Brad Pitt is also in this and he plays himself for the most part which is all he really needs to do. Helena Bonham Carter is also good as the sensual and neurotic Marla Singer. 95%
Sex/nudity
Pretty non-existent, only one sex scene but it's done in a weird slo mo so it's nothing to get your rocks off on.
Overall
One of the best black comedies ever made. 95%
