An Overlooked Classic

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2000)

Fight Club is one of those films that I think will be appreciated more as time goes on. The story has so many twists and turns and is never boring and the outcome is even a bigger revelation than the one in The 6th Sense. From start to finish the film never slows down. It is mind-blowing and amazing and the direction and other camera tricks by Fincher is top notch. Perhaps, the most impressive thing about this flick is Ed Norton. There is one scene that Norton's character has with his boss that is Oscar-worthy. It's a shame the Academy, however, decided to ignore him this time. Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meat Loaf also give noteworthy performances.
