A Gutsy Triumph

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2010)

The more times I watch this film, the more I admire it.
The film works on so many levels – a gripping plot and narrative, fascinating characters, and provocative questions about the nature of our modern existence. And the film is executed with aplomb – adept direction and editing (with no wasted scenes, moments, or details), excellent cinematography, the perfect tone, strong performances, and a great soundtrack/score.
It's no accident that Fight Club has become not only a cult classic, but an institution. The sad fact is Hollywood has stopped making these types of films, which only makes Fight Club more endearing.
