This Is Your Life and It's Ending One Minute at a Time!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2000)

Fight Club is one of the most amazing Films of Modern Cinema, It has an original narrative, great acting and superb direction. Fight club is not for everyone and I would recommend viewers should be at least 16 to appreciate the level of depth this film has to offer as well as the violence being a bit to gracious for younger viewers. Many critics and audience members have complained about the level of violence in The film and how it can have an effect on viewers. However I believe that the this film has something to say and that is not carry out the messages in the film, it isn't saying start a Fight Club yourself and beat your friends to a pulp, it's simply a metaphor for young people to do something with their lives, don't just sit around becoming a couch potato and let yourself become another Jack.

This film works on so many levels, First off as a Black comedy, then as a Thriller mixed with action and strong conventions of a drama genre. The acting in this one is just incredible, Edward Norton has been robbed twice before at the Oscars and once again being Robbed by not even being Nominated. Brad Pitt has also again proved that he is a very talented actor (One of the most underrated actors around).
In my opinion David Fincher is one of the best directors of all time and quite possibly the best around at the moment. I love the dark, harsh lighting he brings to his films, He uses a wide range of different techniques in the film, to help and confuse the audience. I love the CGI shots he uses through out the film. This is one of those Films where the CG shots actually add to the film rather than just there to make it look visually good.
Fight Club is very well scripted and although different form the book is just as good, Which is quite a compliment considering books are usually much better. There are some very good One liners as well as excellent scenes of dialogue.
The Twist at the end of the film is very interesting and many people have complained that it takes something-away form the rest of the film however I feel that it adds to the twisted narrative. In my opinion this is the best film that I have ever seen for so many different reasons. This film actually has you thinking for a time after seeing it, which hardly any Hollywood productions do these days.
This film definitely deserves a 10 out of 10, which I have only given to one other film before. Go out and see this one if you haven't already.
