Fincher joins with nortin and Pitt for their best ever

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2003)

small spoilers but does not spoil the movie
The powerful story of a man who finds himself in his charismatic friend Tyler Durden. From the start of Fight Club you can tell it was going to be somewhat different from your average hollywood film. Boasting to incredible leads, Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, and one of the most unique directors around, David Fincher the film had a lot going for it. the screenplay adapted from the book was differnt but it lost none of its power or affect. In the film Edward Norton plays a man who works alot and has little or no fun in his life and he plays the role to perfection never missing a note or an opportunity to show his awesome talent. When he meets Brad Pitt his life turns around and the two begin to get in fights to enrich their lives. Brad Pitt play his character as well as Norton and it is a shock to me how they where over looked for best actor nominations. David Fincher's creativity and the way in which he uses computer generated images to enhance the movie. his directing is the best of his career and he was also terribly unluckly to been overlooked for a best director nomination.
The script enhances the film and allows Brad Pitt and Edward Norton to have many incredible lines and very interesting converstaions with each other. Many people expected this film to be action and luckily for them it was not. but some people will struggle to look past the violence and see what is really happening in the movie. Fight Club is a very bold statement aganist globalisation and the corporate power that some companies hold in the world and we have not have seen a film with this power and bravery in recent since and i don't think we every will. If you are looking for straight foward movie steer well clear and if you have a weak stomach for violence some scenes many not be for you. but all in all a great film that all should see. 10/10
