Mind-bending and Intense Revelation of Film

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2010)

I've always wanted to see this movie, and it was playing on TV recently and saw it for the first time. I was simply blown away. Everything about it is unbelievably genius: the story (main thanks to Chuck Pahlaniuk), the acting (especially the two leads, Norton and Pitt), the tone, the twist at the end. David Fincher is a modern day genius who keeps putting out masterpiece after masterpiece (keep in mind before this he did Se7en, another modern day classic). The highlight of the movie is mainly Edward Norton, as the perfect unreliable Narrator, a man who doesn't even really know who he is for most of the movie. And of course there's Brad Pitt, in his best performance he'll probably ever do. Tyler Durden is a destructive, philosophical radical revolutionary, who hates all form of consumerism and probably society itself. He's probably the most powerful amazing, deep character to come in recent movies (well along with the Joker in the Dark Knight). Overall, this is such an incredible movie, it would be bad for you to miss it, well if you're old enough to see it of course, but still, something to really see and think about, seriously, shouldn't be missed at some point in your life.
