Jaw dropping

Rating: Null/10 (15 May 2004)

No point to hide it, this will be a very biased review since I'm a huge admirer of Finchers work. For me Se7en remains his best film to date but this beast of a movie does not come far behind.
Everybody raves about the performances of the actors but I think the real standout was the dark and gritty visualization and Finchers tight no non-sense directing. Ed Norton is the true star of the movie but Pitt also does great job as Tyler Durden which is a perfect role for him.

Also a great story and adaption of Palahniuks novel. Remarkable dialogue too, there's so many memorable quotes in this movie and a lot of right on the mark criticism pointed at modern human beings who as Durden puts it work jobs that they hate so that they can buy sh*t they don't need. If you're looking for a mainstream Hollywood action movie with the fighting being on the spotlight, you will be disappointed.
But if you like your movies when they are super stylish, unique, thought provoking, dark, funny and intelligent, then Fight Club definitely is your cup of tee. Big time.
