Truly the best movie you never saw....

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2000)

First don't be fooled by the title which limited its widespread appeal to a truer audience, its merely used as a backdrop. Second don't be persuaded by previous ignorant comments that state this movie has no basis or message to deliver. Fight club is ingenious in delivery and concept leading you on a bizarre and twisted psychological journey. It is wonderfully crafted, maybe to much so for the average dullard viewer and reminds me in nature of another great flick THX-1138. It follows a man entrapped by materialistic desires suffering from insomnia despising what his life has become. He can only find comfort and sleep in the connection of those less fortunate then himself in self-help groups to ease his burdens. Until he meets her. He soon discovers feelings for a woman and sorrow in the death of a friend which previous eluded him being blinded by his materialistic greed. His journey takes him through a dark thou enlightning journey or transformation.
The presentation along with the twisted turn of events at the end make this movie much deeper then originally given credit for. Bradd Pitt and Edward Norton deliver nothing less then spectacular acting creating characters as equally dark and disturbing as your worst nightmare. This is one movie that gets better with every viewing and more easily understood. I watched in 5x in one weekend and became more and more engrossed with every viewing. Director David Fincher, director of seven, and the game has outdone himself with this one delivering a fantastic outing with intriguing concepts such as the use of subliminal pictures used in the movie and used as a small role in the movie. There are several, most notable comes at the very end.
As Tyler sez,"how much can you truly know about yourself if you've never been in a fight." You'll be amazed at the small things that make this movie a cutting edge masterpiece of inquisitive nature. Break the rules and tell everyone about Fight Club.
