Key viewing.

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2008)

This film is nothing short of breathtaking. Fincher has created a modern masterpiece on the ground of the fantastic Chuck Palauhnik novel. The film covers every bit of angst dripping off the pages of the novel. Its quick edits and clever film-making is something to revel in, still after multiple viewings. It's dark, it's hilarious and the plot is one hell of a ride.
The characters are fantastic, as are the actors portraying them. Edward Norton does a fantastic job as the everyman sucked into a dark underworld. Helena Bonham Carter shines as Marla Singer with some of the best dialogue in the film. This of course coming behind perhaps, the greatest character created, in film, novels and the whole world. I am of course talking about Tyler Durden. Masterfully portrayed by Brad Pitt, Tyler is a dangerous, sneaky but ultimately, cool customer.
This film will capture every part of you with every time you watch it. If it doesn't, there is something clinically wrong with you.
