Even better than the excellent book.

Rating: 10/10 (21 March 2003)

Fight Club as a movie is a masterpiece. Wonderfully played : Brad Pitt is perfect in that he plays an archetype, and that's exactly what he represents, Edward Norton is, well is one the most competent actors alive, you won't realize he plays and his play won't attract your attention and that's exactly what his character is supposed to be. Inspired by an excellent book from one of the most promising American author (Chuck Palahniuk), the film achieves what is almost never achieved in books adaptation : it respects its spirit, its complexity, and even makes extensive use of the books strongest sentences. I loved the book, but I find the film even stronger. Note that the film has a different ending -more delighting, but less inspiring than the one from the book (which is definitely worth reading to).
But there is much more to it : it is not only a masterpiece, it is an experience, an opportunity to challenge your self, your life, and your world. Do yourself a favor : watch it -and put your mind to it.
