Solid acting, amazing direction, and elaborate production design make Fight Club a wild ride.

Kevin Maher

The Times (UK)

From the guitar roar on the Dust Brothers' opening title track through to the thundering drums of Pixies' Where Is My Mind? it is pure synapse-splitting sensory overload and the road that commercial cinema refused to take.

Rated: 5/5

Wendy Ide

The Times (UK)

David Fincher’s adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel is a shrewd and expertly crafted study of the male in crisis.

Perhaps it is postmodern filmmaking, whatever that means. In any case, Fight Club remains the ugliest, most inhuman film since Natural Born Killers.

Christopher Lloyd

The Film Yap

David Fincher's prescient rumination on manhood at the close of the 20th century was a revolutionary movie about revolutionary men in a time of complacence.

This movie felt like I was watching the Twilight Zone. To the unsettling dialogues, to the dim tone of the movie, to Ed Norton acting so bizarre, to Brad Pitt’s cocky manner, this movie was so strange to me. I didn’t find it to be a representation of masculinity, as some may think it is. Norton portrays this lonely man, Tyler Durden, who wants some excitement in his life, and isn’t able to stand up for himself at work. This alter-ego of his (Pitt’s character) that plays in his mind makes him imagine things that aren’t there, say things he wants to say. He doesn’t realize he has been making decisions about his life, such as starting Fight Club, which helps him become stronger. Norton did a great job playing a somber, naïve, and sleep ridden character with unsettling wishes. I personally don’t see the cult status this movie received, but I enjoyed the acting, the soundtrack, and the twist ending.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I don't like this movie, but I don't hate it either. I know it's one of the most iconic films out there, but it's not for me.
