Amazingly Smart, Highly Disturbing

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2000)

What is "The Fight Club"? Maybe the strongest and most daring movie of the year. David Fincher is brilliant. He has this amazing capacity to make movies electrical, powerful and disturbing. The smallest details of this movie are so well-done that the final result was perfect. The movie is about a man. A man lost in a pathetic life where collecting furniture was his major excitement. A man who couldn't sleep. A man looking for salvation. After meeting Tyler Durden, his life changes in many ways. He discovers his violent side, his willing to be free. Both create the ultimate therapy for people who can't find a meaning to their lives: The Fight Club.
There men beat each other only to feel alive. Is this impossible? How many people enjoy boxing anyway? After the club becomes famous, though, Tyler starts to create something that will go out of control soon, and that will change that man's life forever. Fantastic dialogues. Amazing character development. A much better twist then 6th sense's. A flawless complex script. Very funny moments. Very tense moments. Nonsense. Insanity. Mischief. Mayhem. Soap.
This movie really can rock your world. It made me feel much different about life itself, and is one of the best movies EVER. Highly recommended to anyone who likes to think. Edward Norton is amazing. Brad Pitt does his job well and David Fincher shows us once again that he has a great potential and must keep us addicted to his movies. A high praise to the guy who wrote the book as well. There is a guy who knows lots about humanity. 10/10
