Fight Club

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2011)

This is one my top-ten list for greatest films ever! I honestly can't think of a problem with Fight Club. Not from its brilliant premise of a pessimistic insomniac and a nihilistic punk that create a fight club for the sake of therapy for white-collared men. Or the Oscar worthy performances by Edward Norton (American History X), Brad Pitt (Troy), or Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney Todd). The twist ending is utterly mind-blowing. My favorite part about this feature, beside its stylized format and enigmatic screenplay, is the cinematography. No words can describe the perfect, divine, Godsent cinematography. Jeff Cronenweth is a master of his craft. I have no other words that I can employ to describe the greatness of Fight Club.
