Rule number one..never talk about fight club...but you just have to!!

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2002)

Wowsa! David Fincher has a way that can take an audience into a realistic world but make it so compelling and breathtaking that it is almost unreal. Fight Club meets all audience expectations and gives them that little bit more. The cinematography style is possibly the best in modern cinema today with pans, going through floors. What else could be more exciting?
Without saying too much about the storyline, its genuinely one of the best that has come out of mainstream cinema for a long, long time. This film has a definate arty and alternative edge, but aimed at a younger audience, this is what people want. Something fresh, new and more vibrant than the average teen flick movie that bursts into the cinemas every week. Brad Pitt is truly breathtaking in his role (Tyler) with a very laid back and cool edge to his character that comes across perfectly with every move made. While Edward Norton finishes this off with being the 'geek' but with a slight cool and sophisticated edge. However Marla has to be my favourite character as a sleezy type of sex object that smokes perfectly, walks perfectly and is a complete idol for fans of this film.
The Dust Brothers have done a fine job and composing an industrial, yet alternative soundtrack that fits in with every second of this film. The opening sequence has a particualy amazing piece of music that sets the whole dark and twisted edge that this film carries.
Fight Club is alive and modern, mixing special effects to create a compelling and amazing scenario of events that combine into a film that is basically a reflection on society today.
