Is Fincher the next Kubrick?

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 1999)

First off, this film is brilliant. For those who think they can't stomach the violence - YOU'VE SEEN WORSE BEFORE. The brutality shown in the film is not nearly as disturbing as its underlying themes. It's a very unsettling and scary film. I walked out of FIGHT CLUB thinking to myself that David Fincher could be the next great director of all time. I'll go out on a limb and say it. The style, the edgy material, and the risks taken in this film are rarely seen in todays movies. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are great, as is Helena Bonham Carter.
