On the surface it's about a white-collar office worker, tired of what he's becoming, who creates an underground fight club with the help of a brutally honest social misfit. Below that, you have a cynical social commentary on everything that's wrong with the adults of today, which appeals to most anger-fueled twenty-somethings. Peel that away and it's picking apart those who live by those cynical ideals and proving that no matter how much knowledge you bestow, you're still an idiot if you don't know how to use it. Like the fighting blinds the character's from what's going on around them, the sneering facade of the narrator's commentary blinds the viewer with what is actually going on. With a bit of keen observance and careful deconstruction you'll find it works on numerous entertaining levels.
