I think the tone/tension in fight club was much different than this film. Joker wasn't using another another character (Tyler Durden) to juxtapose with at all -- this movie was entirely a battle with his own delusions and descent. And it was structured to pull you into it in a pretty unsettling way.

I disagree that it wasn't well executed.
