mind blowing, pure genius, a film for the dis-illusioned thirty something.

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 2000)

Simply the best film of the last (and probably next) decade. I was blown away by this movie. A work of pure genius. In equal turns I was entertained, moved and ultimately affected by it. As a somewhat dis-illusioned thirty something I really felt that it had special meaning for me. I don't agree that this is a 'bloke' movie. I think that if you take such a narrow minded point of view then you are missing the point and ultimately the underlying themes created within this cinematic masterpiece. Edward Norton is simply incredible and is rightly described as 'one of the few truly great actors of our generation.' Brad Pitt was also outstanding actually playing with an honesty too often denied a film actor of his type. I would like to see more Norton/Pitt collaborations in the future. In conclusion Fight Club is an experience that no-one should miss. It is truly awesome.
