Films like the Fight Club create a world that has yet to unfold. Readers and moviegoers are attracted to stories that reinforce what they already know, exposing tripwires and deadness, but not calling on them to imagine a very different sub-culture with alien like values.
FC failed to meet the studio's expectations at the box office was booed at festivals and panned by the critics.
