A masterpiece from Mr. Fincher

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2002)

What can be said that hasn't already been recorded by now? You either love this film, or you don't understand it. And it seems that the latter is more common than the former. It is often described as disturbing, violent, and confusing. Typical comments from spoon fed movie goers that would rather see Lucas destroy a legacy by Disney perportions. Fight Club makes you think. If you don't walk away questioning, yourself, and s**t you've accumulated to make you feel better about the state your life is in, then you're beyond convention help and need to have your ass kick. Fight Club is disturbing. It's one of it's stronger attributes. Sometimes it takes something that makes us uncomfortable before we can see things for how they really are. The words of Tyler Durdan are only now coming true; Martha Stuart, f**k Martha Stuart. Martha Stuart is shining doorknobs on the Titanic. Only now do we see how true that is.
