A pioneer and modern masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (6 September 2004)

The critics bombed this movie sayin' 'it's disturbing and
contains excessive violence'. But the first half hour of
Saving Private Ryan (another masterpiece) contains twice
more violence than this one. This is an underrated masterpiece, deserver of many more nominations in the academy awards '99 than only best sound effects. A solid and surprisin' screenplay for a fierce
critic to consume society, with a modern visual style never seen before (the computered sex scene with Marla and
Tyler, the 1st scene, with the bomb locations, etc) and an almost perfect cast. The best movie in the career of the excellent ex-director of
videoclips David Fincher (also director of another violent
pioneer masterpiece: Se7en), and one of the best movies
ever made. Simply spectacular.
