Sheer brilliance.

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2004)

This film gives a glimpse at what great character based film making can be. Edward Norton is perfect for the role of Jack and Brad Pitt as Tyler is great along side.
The movie follows the degradation of Jack's life as step by step we see him give up is job and start the revolutionary underground group: fight club.
The film offers un-biased insight into western Americanized culture. Through Jack and Tyler's eyes we see the world in which we live and the lives we lead. The dirty underbelly of the city portrayed in fight club allows us to see how corrupt the corporations and high fliers that spurned this culture truly are.
Coupled with true to life dialogue and a magnificently well concealed twist leads to a fantastic film which you have to watch at least twice.
The film is splendidly shot with subtle but brilliant lighting effects. Claudio Miranda and Jeff Cronenweth should be commended.
