What great movies are all about

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2000)

This is the 3rd best film I've ever seen. Fast-moving, energetic beyond belief and with a rock-solid attitude that just isn't found elsewhere, this flick is just too great to miss. Unsettling, graphic, violent like no else, made in typical Fincher-style: dark, gritty, dirty and a bucketful of sweat. Excellent performances by Pitt and Norton (the IKEA touch is a bonus for us Swedes), great lines ("Run, Forrest, run!" is my favorite) and some really, REALLY wicked jokes. I recommend this film to anyone, except that you have to bear watching people slug it out some - and even beating each others' faces to bloody pulp. But the violence is not the point of this film, and if you can stand it, there are quite a few interesting issues that are brought to attention. And what more can one ask for?
