Best Plot Twist of the year!

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2000)

Fight Club is one of the strangest films I have ever seen, with a plot twist more surprising and presaged better than the twists in Sixth Sense or Magnolia. I'm not sure it all makes sense, but with such imaginative direction and writing, and solid acting by Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, who cares? With so many formula films, it's unusual to be honestly surprised by a movie, and Fight Club surprised me more than any film I can remember. It's not for the squeamish, and it runs a little too long (ever since Titanic no major filmmaker brings in a final cut under 2 1/2 hours), but it is a roller coaster ride with no safety bar.
