Rule 1 - you do not review Fight Club

Rating: 8/10 (16 September 2002)

This is _very_ black. In some ways quite brilliant, but not for the faint-hearted. Everything in the film is understated, even though it's taken to extremes. Nothing is introduced that isn't used later on. And it's so , so , black - did I mention that? However, add to that blackness a genuine humour that makes it stand even above the peak of the Coen brothers' black humour (Blood Simple and Fargo, for example).
