A disturbing tale of the modern man

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 1999)

Fight Club is without a doubt the most interesting film to come out of Hollywood in years. What it's saying about men today, about the consumer society, religion, and the point of our existence is rather frightening. We were originally cave-animals, but we now live in a society where we don't have to hunt, don't have to fight to live, we don't even have to get up from the couch to change channels on the TV. As humans, we are not "designed" to live like this, and so it is no surprise that a lot of men today find themselves not fitting in. That's what the movie so disturbingly talks about, and being a David Fincher film, in such an incredible way.
I just feel sorry for the LA Times critic who obviously did not get the point of the film.
