The most pleasant surprise of the year.

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 1999)

First off, let me say that I was looking for when I bought my ticket and what I found after seeing this film were two completely different things.
Fight Club is the best movie I've seen this year, and there have been a few gems of cinema that have been considered in making that statement. I won't ruin the experience for anyone, especially since the first and second rules of Fight Club are you do not talk about Fight Club, but I feel that to fully experience this film requires that you see it more than once. I haven't yet so I won't shoot my mouth off about how profoundly it affected me, but I will say that this film is a truly visceral indulgence of the senses that demands your full attention to appreciate it.
Go see Fight Club and be surprised as I was to see a film with tremendous depth and meaning and not just two hours of shallow platitudes on how to live a happy life. Because as Tyler Durden says in the movie, we've been brought up with T.V. to believe that we're all going to grow up to be rock stars and celebrities, etc. ... but we won't. A wake up call for the "me" generation that assumes that success is everything. It isn't. Go see Fight Club. You won't be sorry.
