self destruction is the answer

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2002)

jack is a corporate drone who has everything and most people in his situation would be content. but he lacks fulfillment and his sick of todays modern corrupt and routine based world. his tortured lifestyle causes him insomnia and it seems he can't break free. untill one day he meets tyler durden an anti-capitalist, anarchist who who shares jacks views but in a more sadistic way. they form fight club, an underground way for men to unleash there fury and the pressure they are building up. fight club gradually becomes bigger and bigger and becomes project mayham. a revoloution against industries and the authority of todays society.
this film was controversial for its violence but its essential for the story, and when tyler (brad pitt) p***es in the soup of the rich and sells extracted body fat back to them in the form of soap your either thinking thats morally wrong or if you have an ounce of rebellion in you your cheering him on.there is a dark humour and a dry wit to add to the bleak atmosphere. anyone who questions todays world should watch this. any communists left in the world should watch this. anyone who is getting board with routine should watch this. and anyone who can't stand the violence and graphic nature should read the equally good book.
no doubt this is david finchers best film (he directed se7en)and along with the matrix and american beauty ( which is surprisingly similar)this is the one of the best films of 1999. *****
