10 Hilariously One-Sided Movie Duels

5. The Narrator Vs Angel Face (Fight Club)

God this scene was hard to watch. Angel Face, played by heart-throb and photobomber extraordinaire Jared Leto is on the wrong end of a tonking at the hands of our psychopathic narrator. This fight starts out like any other Fight Club scrap, but it isn€™t long before a grim hush falls over the braying crowd, who realise it has gone too far but are too afraid to step in and stop it. . It doesn€™t take long for this to stop being a fight and I think I looked away when Angel Face becomes motionless and still the blows don€™t stop. The noises are utterly horrible. Let€™s get this straight, Jared Leto, is an incredibly (and annoyingly) attractive man. He is perfect for this character, because his good looks provide such a stark and harrowing contrast to how The Narrator actually leaves his face. Swollen, bloody, bruised and near-toothless. Up until this point, for all its moral flaws, Fight Club had been presented as having a certain camaraderie. Where misfits and outcasts could go to find solace in violence and each other. €œI wanted to destroy something beautiful€ are the words which end this and send the film on its darker spiral.
