Fight Club or: The Schizophrenic Adventures of Edward Norton

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2003)

While watching this I thought I was watching one of the most important films of modern times, a film that was going to deliver a message about the value of fighting, but then a really tacked-on ending threw a cloud over everything I'd seen up until then and I knew this was one that would sadly fade away into obscurity as merely one of the better films of the year.

I was genuinely taken by surprise by The Sixth Senses surprise ending, one that made me think "that's pretty clever, it all makes sense now", but I was angered at how cheap the surprise ending was in Fight Club, it cheapened what could have been a powerful piece of social commentary. I rate it four out of five stars because most of the film is top-notch, and Fight Club should be seen by any regular moviegoer at least once.
