Great Dark Comedy

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 1999)

David Fincher has done it again. He continues to make some of the most powerfully visual and mind-bending films in current history. Having known what the twist was at the ending (I read the novel), I found it to completely make sense in the context of the film. Go see it again, and you'll see how important the ending is to the entire context of the film. Not to mention, on second viewing, you can see it doesn't come out of left field, and is implimented through-out.
As mentioned above, this film, while brutally violent, is amazingly funny. Edward Nortan, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonahm Carter are all hilarious in this flick. And Fincher's visual humor is perfect. His final one-two punch with the films final shot had me laughing for a clean five minutes. Go see the film, and enjoy ride.
