Fighting style.

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2019)

A cult for the enlightened, Fight Club teeters between gritty thriller and subversive mind. Beyond all Fight Club is a masterpiece of style, from the dirty cinematography to the script that encompasses the works of Adorno and Horkheimer. Carried along by two great performances by the leading men, Fight club stands as pure octane cinema. Scattered with interesting uses of film making technique, the movie ends with a bang in the form of its twist. The twist is surprising, yet not unwarranted, which leaves the viewer feeling satisfied by both the context and the implications. The movie is smart without being heavy handed. Much like the book it is based on the film folds a mirror up to society and lets the viewer find its own interpretation. Fight club let's you get as much out of it as you want, leaving the viewer always satisfied. It's grotesque and gratuitous style would be off-putting if it weren't for the subcontextual importance it plays in the movies message. Overall Fight Club acts as the remedy for that teenaged edge we all once had, and I got one thinks that's a great thing.
10/10
