An exhilarating experience.

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 1999)

There are some movies which impress you initially, but end up being somewhat hollow afterwards; then there are movies which demand that you sit up and take notice.
Yes, that's pretty much Fight Club in a nutshell. I found coming home from the theatre that I was outright excited by the movie, and it even did what very few movies do: force me to look at my own behaviour under the microscope. It's not just entertainment anymore, it's serving a useful purpose - and as such I gave it a very high rating (9/10).
Why not a perfect mark? I must confess, the latter part of the movie was somewhat confusing; thankfully, they brought it back into focus soon enough. I for one didn't mind the ending at all; it's ambiguous and satisfying for me at the same time.
I'd really recommend seeing this movie; it's a tremendous breather after a summer full of horrible attempts at entertainment. I can't believe anyone went to see Wild Wild West - but if you went to see Fight Club, you're probably not the kind who would see Wild Wild West to begin with, in other words, you're prime material for what Tyler wants in a person.
