Good *ONE OR TWO SPOILERS PRESENT*

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2004)

I thought this movie was good; it was an original psychological thriller, which in my opinion is great. It could have done without so much blood, even if it is only graphic, and the one scene with Jack/Tyler doing it with Marla. It was very clever that in that scene you can't see the guy's face, which contributes to the fact that Jack and Tyler are the same person. The script was very sharp; it gives just enough hints so you can figure out that they're the same person, but it doesn't give too much away. Kudos to the writer! This is one of those movies that really make you think, since it's so unpredictable, and when you see it for the second time, you like it even more because you can just sit back and enjoy it.
Fight Club has a really strong message behind it; it's not just a bunch of men getting together to hit each other and taking their angry, hurt, and disappointment out on others, it's a bunch of men trying to prove and find themselves. No, fighting doesn't solve anything, it just relieves the pain until you find it within yourself to face your problem and be free, but to do that, you have to make sacrifices (a.k.a. Jack losing all his furniture, which was exactly what Tyler, his freer half, wanted.) We all have an image of ourselves as this perfect person; what we would be like if we could remake ourselves. Tyler is this person to Jack, only his desire is so strong that Tyler becomes out of control and creates Project Mayhem. I think that was the only flaw in this movie. Something like a small fighting club to a large scale project to remake the world. But it wouldn't have had the same effect as it did would it? And the ending just clicked, it was that good. The song, the buildings crashing with Marla and Jack holding hands and watching, it was perfect. It was a great movie: 8/10
