What bodily changes did Brad Pitt undergo for his role in Fight Club ?
Mick LaSalle of the " San Francisco Chronicle " said Pitt was " ideally cast as an Irishman whose accent is so thick even Brits ca n't understand him " , going on to say that , before " Snatch " , Pitt had been " shackled by roles that called for brooding introspection , but recently he has found his calling in black comic outrageousness and flashy extroversion ; " while Amy Taubin of " The Village Voice " claimed that " Pitt gets maximum comic mileage out of a one - joke role " .
