Dark, funny, gruesome, brilliant

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 1999)

Brilliant film. David Fincher has done it again. Although Alien 3 was not received very well, you can see how his dark and grim directing style has progressed to include the witty and humorous side of relatively brutal material.
Edward Norton proves once again to be one of the most versatile actors of the decade, although I thought Pitt's performance was not his best (12 Monkey's and Seven Year's in Tibet show him at his best, I feel). Helena Bonham Carter actually reminded me of a tweaked-out Elaine from Sienfeld. Sorry :)
As you may have heard, the ending is a bit of a let down but overall the movie is definitely worth your time.
