Not bad for a Studio System Film

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2004)

When this came out I didn't want to see it. TV and radio stations were flooded with Fight Club ads and Fox initially tried to sell the movie as one of these "I'll beat the cr*p out of you" movies. I guess this drew the wrong audience into the theaters and most people were disappointed because they didn't get to see blood and guts and superheroes. So I was very surprised when I got hold of the DVD and watched it for the first time (and then a second time, and a third time and on and on...)
Although the philosophy behind it isn't as deep and profound as other reviewers at imdb have claimed it to be, it is still a very fascinating and strange movie - unlike anything you would expect from a Hollywood major studio.
Fincher created a dark and visually stunning movie with a terrific cast and...well..some plotholes.
But nevertheless. This is a "must see". Eventually this will be considered the classic 90's movie.
Not to forget the great Pixies Song "Where is my mind" at the end.
