HONOURABLE ATTEMPT

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2001)

I initially saw this film when it had it's cinematic release, but my viewing was soured by a noisy audience. So I returned to watch it on satellite last night, and i have to say I do stand by my initial judgment.
The first half of this film is one of the best films in the past 10 years. It's fresh, cool and perfectly captures the male angst as we enter a new millennium. The second half is more messy in comparison, and so this film has to go down as an honourable attempt.
Fincher has showed excellent promise and originality with his first few films. Norton is a good actor, and Pitt can be excellent when he wants to be.
