Mind-Blowing Classic

Rating: 9/10 (1 August 2014)

'Fight Club' is about an average office worker (Edward Norton) who is a complete insomniac. After meeting a man named Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) on a business trip, the two men form an underground fight club which is much more than it seems. 'Fight Club' is directed by David Fincher, best known for his works on 'Fight Club' and 'Se7en'.
'Fight Club' stars Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. This is by far Pitt and Norton's best performances of their careers. Each and every scene both actors are flawless and have a very demanding screen presence. You can really feel the power and intensity delivered with each line both Pitt and Norton speak. One of the best cinematic duos of all time.
I really need to applaud writer, Jim Uhls on the screenplay. The screenplay is absolutely perfect. Each and every line is so powerful and poetic. As stated before, Pitt and Norton deliver each and every line perfectly and so powerfully. There is no way you could possible see anyone but Pitt and Norton in their roles, because the writing is done so well and they deliver such powerful performances.
The cinematography in this film is very well done. The score in this film is done pretty good as well. Costume design was nothing special, but it served its purpose. The editing is done very well in this film. One of the best aspects of this film is the effects. The makeup effects in this film are so realistic and great . This is definitely Fincher's best film of his career, he did a near perfect job directing it.
'Fight Club' was surprisingly only nominated for one Academy Award and this nomination being for best effects and sound editing. Sound editing in this film is done perfectly and well as the sound effects. You can really almost feel each punch being delivered. It is truly a disappointment that 'Fight Club' was only nominated for one Academy Award. This could have easily been a best picture contender and Norton with Pitt could have definitely been front runners for best and supporting actor.
'Fight Club; is an action-packed film that delivers great punches as well as amazing shockers. With perfect performances from Pitt and Norton, great effects and a perfect screenplay, 'Fight Club' gets a near perfect 9/10 stars
