A heap of dung masquerading as a good movie.

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 2001)

Wow... What can I say about "Fight Club"? It's a real pity that so many have been brainwashed into thinking this is a good film.

*Spoilers ahead*
"Fight Club" starts out just fine. We meet the depressed narrator, who finds solace in self-help groups. Later, he meets Tyler Durden, with whom he starts Fight Club, a secret club in which men beat the snot out of each other to free their minds.
-On a side note, isn't it interesting how these young men can repeatedly hit each other so hard and receive nothing more than cuts and bruises? I'm guessing that many young viewers were inspired to start their own fight clubs only to nix the idea when they broke their hands on the first punches.-
Oh well... back to the movie... I'll try to keep this brief. Tyler Durden goes on to brainwash fight club members, and soon they're your stereotypical cult. They go on to commit random acts of vandalism. More nonsense ensues until Tyler hatches his ultimate plan, the destruction of all financial records in the country to level the playing field. But wait! The movie doesn't end there! We need a surprise ending! It turns out that Tyler Durden really is the narrator! Like I care. If that isn't enough, our narrator then kills Tyler Durden by sticking a gun in his own mouth and pulling the trigger. Why do so many filmmakers feel the need to include surprise endings? Such nonsense.
"Fight Club" is far from insightful. If you want to see a movie along the same vein that has something useful to say, check out Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange," or, if you prefer, "Fight Club minus bullshit."
