Brilliant film

Rating: Null/10 (12 February 2003)

Fight Club is, most definitely, one of the best films of the '90s and a very entertaining, quirky psychological study. The plot is certainly ingenious, and David Fincher constructs the film in a quirky and interesting way. Not to mention Brad Pitt and Ed Norton have credible chemistry in this film. The story keeps twisting and turning in a downward spiral but nothing prepares you for the twist in the end. Everything works well in this movie, the performances are fun (Helena Bonham Carter is great in her role) and the direction is well-handled. The manner in which the story is told is very reminiscent of a Danny Boyle movie, a la Trainspotting, etc. it works perfectly here, and that ending! All in all, I would have to say that although it is quite a brutal film at times, Fight Club is one of the most impressive and original films of the '90s and definitely one of the best of the year.
