David Fincher at his best

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2004)

I knew the ending to Fight Club before watching it and I just wish I could go back and not find out. But I was still not going to be phased out and just get on with it and enjoy. I still didn't know the exact end only the twist in it. When people usually tell me there is a twist in films then it is more obvious when it happens but I don't think anybody could have predicted Fight Club's dark twist unless they had read the book in advance.

We should be really hating The Usual Suspects, Seven and Fight Club because these films made twists what they are today and that unstoppable. Don't get me wrong I loved the twists in those films just as much as you do but it gave writers all the world the idea that every script in the world should involve twists. There are some good ones but in most they are obvious and not original. Fight Club took you into this story which made sense at first and quite normal but we were just getting fooled to what eventually happened in the fatal twist of events. Edward Norton is the greatest actor in this film and Brad Pitt is the coolest with Helen Boham cater as the dirtiest which has to be said because she is a skank. David Fincher's direction is as good as always and never stops to be more than amazing till Panic Room of course.
What I didn't like about fight Club was how Fight Club changed from underground basement fighting to operation Mayhem without any real explaining why. Tyler does say something which is excusable but it wasn't enough. In the book they do it and I think it was very vital to explain it in the movie but of course it wasn't which I think is a mistake on the writers part. Someone told me there was a deleted scene which explained it a bit more thoroughly but it was obviously missed in the final cut. Apart from that Fight Club is as perfect than any film is ever going to be.
