2 Hours and 19 Minutes of MAGIC!

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2018)

The movie did not do well in the box office. I was gifted a copy of the film and I did not watch it for almost a year as I had not even heard about the name way back in 2003. Then I watched it one day. Then I watched it again the same day. And then I watched it multiple times thereafter. This is not a film, this is a gift for every movie lover.
I had not read the book and I have still not read the book. But if the book was half as good as the movie then the book should be one of the best sellers. This is a psychological thriller, the best yet. Carefully crafted by a superb David Fincher this is a film way way ahead of its time. The film captures your senses from the very beginning with a script that is second to none. Brilliant casting and extremely well acted by both Edward Norton and Brad Pitt and a solid performance by Helena B Carter.
This according to me is the best that Fincher has ever made, the kind of film that grows on you. The unique style of storytelling, the slight movement of the camera to capture every movement of the characters, brilliant use of the computer generated graphics, marvelous cinematography and editing, this movie is 2 hours and 19 minutes of magic.
There is a whole lot more to talk about Fight Club. But the first rule is "You Do Not Talk About Fight Club". The second rule is "You Do Not Talk About Fight Club".
