Cool, yeah, but good?

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 1999)

I think that the place that Fight Club was headed in the beginning was much more interesting than the place where it wound up in the end. It's almost like the producers saw Sixth Sense and decided that they needed a cool twist ending too and threw one in as an afterthought. Suffering from the same disease as The Matrix, three very good movies could have been made from ideas in Fight Club. Instead, they tossed all of them into one film, cheapening each of them and diffusing what focus the movie might have had. While the film does have a very hip look and a great feel, I couldn't help feeling cheated at the end.
