David Fincher is the Master.

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2002)

Ignore the small-brained carpers. Fight Club is the most visceral and intelligent film that mainstream Hollywood has produced in a long time.
The film, for anyone who has just arrived from another planet and hasn't heard of it, attempts to address the issues of how a lost generation of men can restore meaning to lives, which are being controlled by advertising propaganda and fascistic little men in suits. It is about addiction and rehabilitation; imprisonment and freedom; control and insanity.
Easily David Fincher's best movie, combining the darkness of Se7en and the elaborateness of The Game in a weirdly optimistic and grotty fusion. Squalor has never seemed so liberating. A message to all those conservatives who decry it: it's you who needs to grow up. There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. "I say never be complete. I say let's evolve. Let the chips fall where they may." - Tyler Durden
