A Major film event...

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 1999)

I saw this movie in a crappy, prefab, 1970's circa theatre with bad sound, small screen, and seats full of Brad Pitt fans. I was worried when I heard "I'm just here to see Brad. If it sucks, I'm leaving." more than once. I was concerned there would be talking during this movie that would be distracting. I was worried it would be ruined for me somehow. Needless to say, it was not. This movie grabbed the audience by the throat, drug it willingly through broken glass, screaming, and threw it out the door, reeling, when the 2 plus hours were up. Seemless, perfect computer generated effects. Rapid, exciting and original dialogue. Visually a feast worth seeing more than once to get all the details and to savor the passages that stick with you for days afterwards. Beyond your expectations and a must see for the end of the millenium, this movie is TRULY out of hand in every sense of the word, and I definitely mean this in a good way. David Fincher has come into his own as one of the most original and important voices in American film today, as this film easily oustrips "Seven" in maturity, technique, subject matter and execution. Norton is dependable and watchable as ever, and Pitt CONTINUES to surprise me. Way to go Brad, way to go David. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
