I am Jack's rising level of disgust.

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2000)

Fight Club is the most underrated film ever. It's lack of critical acclaim, box office success, awards and nominations astound me. Perhaps because this film dares to be different, and brave enough not to stick to the golden rules of Hollywood film making.
Boasting brilliant performances from the two leads - as well as the rest of the excellent cast - FC transports the viewer into a disturbing journey through violence, insomnia, pain, relief, anarchy and alienation. Which is not to say that FC is without it's charm and humour.
David Fincher - who is only getting better in my opinion - steers this film into his own cave of cinema brilliance, with inspired moments and dazzling visual scenes. He constructs visions of confusion, mania and realisation with the ease of the film genius that is David Fincher. From the opening credits this film had me. I couldn't look away from the screen.

This movie is THE best film to come out of 1999. The fact that it got ignored by the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes and other such awards fills me with disgust. A token Sound Effects Editing Oscar nomination proves that Hollywood has no place for films that challenge our senses, which don't treat the audience like three-year-olds and spoon-feed them plot lines.

Edward Norton is still to get his credit for being one of the best actors in movies today. I hope that one day he gets the accolades he deserves. Brad Pitt is not just a pretty face either, and lately he has been showing how good an actor he really is.
This timeless classic will only be appreciated by the few of us in the world who recognise the brilliance in this film. Until people are ready to open their minds, FC will always be underrated. This is an excellent movie.
