A Thrilling Ride

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2020)

Fight Club is simultaneously one of the most thrilling and harrowing journeys of stories told through the cinematic medium. The mind-bending perspective of the creators of the film makes it a must-watch. The protagonist of the film is an average office worker with no unique talents or notable traits other than a dull work life and corporate travel. This opens up a mental chasm within him which propels him to seek asylum for peace and stability. This craving pulls him down a rabbit hole and he becomes more unstable till he meets the deuteragonist of the story. From this point onwards, the story is rife with twists and plotlines that keep you on tenterhooks, trying to guess what will follow. Subtle hints are given to reveal the plot but those can be pretty easy to miss. The only complaint is that the violence is at times over-the-top and the subtle cues are not-so-subtle to the keen-eyed watcher.
In any case, the film adaptation of the book of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk does it justice, and I would whole-heartedly recommend this film to watchers who love twists.
