Cinemax fuels up the action on Sky with Fight Club

-

One action hit after another will leave Cinemax audiences on SKY catching their breath as it rolls out its Maximum Action Movie Collection until July 31, beginning with the ‘90s cult classic Fight Club.

Known for polarizing audiences for its amoral depiction of violence, the movie adaptation of Chuck Palahnuik’s novel of the same title follows the journey of an insomniac anonymous narrator (Edward Norton) whose life spirals into disarray as he tries to escape from his otherwise boring life — until he meets Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charismati­c soap salesman sidelining as an amateur computer hacker who provides him the much-desired break.

After the two have spent the night together, they decide to start a Fight Club, an undergroun­d group that provides men a venue for recreation­al fighting. But what follows this will bring the narrator to the edge of danger.

Nineteen years after it screened in cinemas, Fight Club is back for Gen X-ers to relive and still relate to. Catch it once more on July 16 at 12 a.m.

The movie will be followed by other iconic ‘90s hits, from Total Recall, Under Siege, Twister, Virtuosity, L.A. Confidenti­al, Basic Instinct, Enemy of the State and The Mask of Zorro.

Watch the Maximum Action Movie Collection by subscribin­g to Cinemax via SKY Select for P75 per month. It is accessible via Channel 198 in HD.
