A Totally Amazing Mind Blowing Film

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2000)

This film really blow my mid when i first saw it and had me thinking about the film for weeks, Not just what is in the film but the messages it is trying to put across. So I had to see it again and when I did I appreciated it even more as I could look over knowing what happens in the end. This film is my favourite of all time because it is amazing on so many levels. First there is the great plot of a young man's struggle with society and what he does as a reaction, second the acting which was just amazing especially form the always superb Edward Norton. He was very unlucky not to get an oscar nominations which he deserved. As well Brad Pitt pulled of some great acting even better than in Twelve Monkeys. The amazing direction that David Fincher brings to this film. Fincher in my opinion is one of the best directors around and is up there with Ridley Scott. Great CG shots are used in this film with many great effects coming out of the use of this technology.
This film has an weird and wonderful originality to it, which is also seen in Being John Malkovich. There are many great quotes form this film that will be remember in history for years to come. The film it self has already become an over night film cult classic. I would truly recommend this film to everyone, even if after watching it you dislike it it becuase it is a brilliant mind blowing film with just the right mix of comedy, action, drama and a twist that will blow your mind.
