One of the best mainstream films in years.

Rating: 8/10 (5 July 2004)

This brilliant slice of cinema from David Fincher left many thoughts in my head. One of the less philosophical thoughts was could this film have been released after September 11 without the censors intervening? I think not.
This film is promoted in the wrong way too. It is hardly disturbing compared to films that are even slightly underground. But the point is, all the hype and world events surrounding this film do not change the fact that it is a brilliant film and something I didn't think the mainstream would achieve for a long time.
Themes of terrorism, anti-commercialism and identity-crisis are all explored and it has one of the best closing scenes I have ever seen.
All in all, not the best movie made or anything, but a mainstream movie worth seeing.
