An amazing adaption

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2019)

The decision to adapt the book was brave to say the least. As you probably know, book adaptions are, more often than not, criticized. And to take the material of Fight Club and think it'd make a great movie, to me, would seem crazy. But I'm truly grateful they did.
I remember when this film came out, at the time it kind of got dismissed by the critics. I guess because it is so different in its approach to, not only the content, but also the way the movie was constructed. Though I also think a lot of people didn't like the concept behind Fight Club, it really goes against the grain and what we deem as acceptable in these modern times. Yet that is the beauty of the film... it leaves you with that unnerving thought of; are you living a life you have been conditioned to live?
Today the movie still holds up. It's different take on things is still refreshing and thoughtful. The movie is certainly not for everybody, and it unashamedly knows that. There are no compromises here.
