Inventive and Daring

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2001)

The Movie Fight Club is an example of one of those very dark and risky movie that is for some reason made into a movie even though it might not do financially well. The first time I heard of Fight Club was when I saw an article about it in a magazine and how it kept being pushed back on its release date due to it's violent nature and the situation the country was currently in. When it finally came out in October I had seen a string of disappointing films and didn't feel like seeing this one. A while after I had nothing to do so I went and saw it. When I left the theater I couldn't absorb the entire movie but I did know that it was a rare film and one I had never seen before. What puts Fight Club above other films is how it's message isn't cut and dry. It says dangerous things that aren't questioned often. This film questions are lifestyles, belongings, and ideas. The most appealing thing about Fight Club is that it takes you away to a different place with characters that you have never seen before, this film goes right alongside The Talented Mr. Ripley as the best of 1999.
