Fincher's greatest movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2003)

Fight club is,for me,the greatest movie of David Fincher.The acting is great,especially Brad Pitt,the visuals are cool and the make-up awesome and the story is great with a high octane ending. After the fantastic Se7en and the less good The Game,Fincher proves once again that he is one on the best director Hollywood has got.Within a couple of years,he has offered highly stylised entertainment,but it seems that he is not getting the respect he is due.It must not be forgotten that 27 scenes were cut from his very personnal version of Alien,and that he was just recently kicked from the MI-3 project by Tom Cruise. Is he comdemned,like Tim Burton,to follow the studio's rules by directing movies like Panic Room?I hope that he is going to bring more movies that will prove to everybody that he is one of the best.But for now,Fight Club remains THE ultimate reference of his filmography. *****/5
