Amazing film that rocked the pants of me.

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2004)

Perhaps, I myself am not clever or witty enough to give a complete outline of the context, the "behind scenes" meaning of Fight Club but I can say that it is the most absorbing movie I have ever seen. I read the book after the movie made such a impact on me and found it equally impressive. I suppose it's the idea's of middle class, middle life, confusion that would appeal to anyone who doesn't know where they are going. Or maybe that's just bollocks and the film is just stylish and darkly comic. Or maybe still it's a mixture of the two.
The plot is complicated and warrants a second viewing this is due to the surprises present at varying points of the movie. The disjointed timeline and superb use of atmosphere make this in my opinion better than Fincher's "seven" that being a bold statement to make. I'd also say that Tyler Durden has to be perhaps the most awesome character, and "Jack" the most uneasily real in a great deal of movies I have seen.
In short..watch this movie..it'll be far better than the random babble of me.
