Dark, atmospheric, funny and downright great

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2002)

"Fight Club " is the current climax of the work of director David Fincher (Alien 3, Seven, The Game), who is one of the best (if not THE best) directors running around in Hollywood at the moments.
Like all of his movies, Fight Club is a very dark and atmospheric movie, containing lots and lots of black humour and quite explicit violence. The plot, involving people setting up clubs were they can fight just to counter boredom is original enough by itself, but it also contains several really unexpected and shocking plot twists, much like in "The Game", or "the Sixth Sense". What's even better, these twists are actually quite believable compared to many other thrillers (for example, "Along came a spider" contains some of the poorest plot twists ever).
Is there anything wrong with Fight Club ? Frankly, no. This is one of the only two movies (Pulp Fiction is the other one) that I have given a perfect score of 10/10. Must see !
**** out of **** stars
