Fight Club is defintely one of the best movies ever made

Rating: 6/10 (19 February 2003)

After hearing that this film was very good I decided to rent it. I was stunned. This movie combines great visuals with an excellent screenplay and is nicely topped with superb acting. The movie has a tendency to get weird, but not too weird. Norton is superb here, he gives great atmosphere with his narration and gives an excellent performance as a confused individual. Helena Bolham Carter is fine here, she acts like a suicidial, crazy person with good percsion. The real star here is Brad Pit whose performance in this movie is only equalled by his performance in 12 Monkeys. He adds such a great presence to Tyler Durden, its amazing. The only problem I had with this film is one Norton learns the "deal" with Tyler Durden, the movie loses its impact and becomes more of a hollywood type of movie. Concerning the rating, there are one or two heavy sex scenes, the occasional swearing, but I was surprised by the amount of violence. There isn't really that much, but when there is, it gets bloody. Really bloody. Unfortunately I knew the ending before hand, so not much of a surprise there. Fight Club combines ingenius storytelling to amazing visuals. Quite simply one of the best films ever made. 9.75/10
