Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2002)

This one-of-a-kind movie grabs my mind and heart from fade-in to fade-out. The insomniac narrator keeps the audiences widely awake along the presentation about how many parts of our lives are actually meaningless.
Edward Norton performs convincingly as a guy who screams out of the boredom of his days just to find the exciting new life during his sleepless nights. This new life includes serial visitation to support groups where he meets the disturbingly charming Marla (played disturbingly haunting by Helena Bonham-Carter). While he's wishing that his plane will crash, suddenly the charismatic Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt at his best!) appears, and brings him to a whole new (underground) world.
They both invent the fight club, and in this fighting community they struggle for peace and better life. Actually, it is not the story that counts, but the values and twists. Based on the novel of the same title by Chuck Palahniuk, "Fight Club" changes the paradigms of everyday life: countering neatly ordered life, blasting consumerism, and glorifying chaos.
The dark and compelling ambience is successfully achieved by director David Fincher. The opening title is as breath-taking as the ending of this movie.
This film is a legend!
