What is Fight Club?

Rating: 8/10 (12 January 2015)

Personally, I rate this move a 7.5, but I'll round it up, since that is not an option.
What is Fight Club? Maybe a dark comedy. I think that's fitting. But, it's also a drama when we see how (in some parts) it truthfully presents a type of modern living. This movie brings up the issue of substance: are the things that make up many of our lives--our work, our possessions, even our relationships--substantial. It comments on these areas through the main character, who is emotionally numb, yet keenly critical.
This movie is stylish, in the way that it's shot; however, it does not distract from the film. It's thought-provoking and perplexing. The subjects Fight Club brings up can be appreciated by all.
