Genius, pure unadulterated genius.

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2000)

Once again the public have chosen to ignore a great film,maybe it's me maybe I'm somekind of jinx because every (well there are exceptions) one of my favourate films is either panned by the critics, ignored by the public or both.
Fight Club is a film which is good on so many level's I can't even begin to fathom how it won not ONE oscar when in all honesty it deserved every single one applicable.
David Fincher is without a doubt one of the best directors in Hollywood today, every film he has made (bar Alien 3) has been a masterpiece. From the opening shot (following the camera from the interior of a human brain through to the gun barrel in Ed Norton's mouth) you know your going to be in for something special. The movie moves at such a pace I have to double check that it was two and a half hours long after my first (of many) viewings, but don't be put off by the run time this is a film you'll want/have to see over, and over, and over again.
Ed Norton and Brad Pitt are the best they've ever been in their career's. Just when you thought Norton couldn't improve any more he just keeps getting better and better, Pitt on the other hand managed to prove that Meet Joe Black was just a blip on his track record by turning in a charismatic turn as the No Sh*t taking Tyler Durdin.
This is one film you have to see but do not's pick it up if your expecting a non-stop action film, or you really will be dissapointed. Instead expect to see a highly intelligent, black comedy that will have you laughing more times than you'd expect, with some extremely violent scenes thrown in for good measure
5 out of 5
