I am Jacks complete lack of suprise...

Rating: 10/10 (29 June 2000)

Pure genius, apocalyptic, and brilliant. David Fincher succeeds yet again with another amazing movie, and better than his previous two, and combining both is some aspects. He takes the darkness of The Game, and the erie feeling of Seven, and puts them both into Fight Club, and of course, comes out with yet another vibrant film.
Fight Club shows the world what we all want to be. It shows the sides that we don't want to see, that society cannot grasp in public, but dreams about when they are alone. It depicts the life we wish we had. Simple, violent, and anarchistict(heh). This movie repels the people who criticize it. All the ones who look at it as just violence, and only that. Chuck Palahinuk has written one of the best novels(which is also exceptionally good). Pitt puts on the best performance of his career since 12 Monkeys. Norton shows us that he is made out for people like "Jack" and "Derek Vinyard"(American History X) and not people like "father Brian Finn"(Keeping the Faith).
It was a shame that this movie was so underrated, because it really shows great movie making, and it shows us reality(in a sense). All put aside, this filming in this movie is beautiful, dark and suspenseful. David Fincher has put out one of the best, a real movie that shows what everyone wants to be. Fight Club IS what it is, it is not the Academy Awards, it isn't what you want it to be, it is what we are afraid to be. Go see this movie. ***** out of *****
