Great story with a twist of lime

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2000)

I missed this in the theaters because I thought it was just another vehicle for showing Brad Pitt's chest, but bored in my hotel room one night, I felt like watching a violent movie (New York does that to you).
First of all, the movie has that modern style that's typical of Fincher. If you were raised on a steady diet of MTV and cable TV, you'll love the dark images and wild editing. I'm buying the DVD just to watch it all over again, it looks that good.
But the story is what got me. The plot twist towards the end woke me up and had me freaked out. Not as good as some others, but it made the movie a "10" in my opinion, whereas it was headed for a decent "7."
