Kevin Maher 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 Mar 15, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Times (UK) David Fincher’s adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel is a shrewd and expertly crafted study of the male in crisis. May 24, 2023 Full Review Bob Thomas Associated Press Perhaps it is postmodern filmmaking, whatever that means. In any case, Fight Club remains the ugliest, most inhuman film since Natural Born Killers. Rated: C- Apr 7, 2020 Full Review Ben Gibbons Screen Rant David Fincher created a masterpiece in this mind-bending psychological drama that features a star-studded cast with extraordinary twists. Rated: 4.5/5 Oct 15, 2024 Full Review 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 2, 2024 Full Review Martin Carr CBR Fight Club feels like a declaration of artistic intent with an axe to grind. It comes across as a tour de force from director David Fincher, and aggressively courts controversy whilst remaining a truly riveting piece of work Rated: 8/10 Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jeffrey R Locked right into my Top 5 all time favs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Jay W Looks like I'm going to be breaking the first two rules of Fight Club. This is a hard film to talk about without also talking about the fandom of this movie. This movie has a legion of "Film Dude Bros" that base their whole personalities off this film. There is an odd irony that, in the film, Tyler Durden spreads his philosophies around America and puts together a large cult. In the real world, the movie "Fight Club" likewise spread its philosophies around America and got a large cult following. Now like any piece of art, there are multiple interpretations and themes one could gather from this movie. But people, Tyler Durdan and the Narrator are not heroes. They are no more role models than any of David Fincher's film characters. Some people might read that and think I'm a moron who has not reached enlightenment. Now, don't misunderstand me. I still think this is a good movie. I'm not setting out to destroy something beautiful. I know I'm not special, I'm not saying anything new about this film. It is a well-directed, tightly written and a truly unique picture. Honestly, I was surprised about how funny it was. I know that isn't its main feature, but it has some really funny moments in it. I just think the people that believe "in Tyler we Trust" are insane and intolerable. I watched this film as a sort of homework assignment I dreamed up. With it being so highly ranked on IMDb's list I do ask, "What do you get out of this? Is it making you happy? I don't understand." Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Vicente C This is straight up, in my personal opinion, the best movie to have ever come out. There might be movies that I haven’t seen that are equal or might be better than this movie, but the chances of that happening is as likely as my friends finally finding a partner (0% chance). If I’d be honest, fight club has changed my perspective of the world, every day I at least think of the movie once. It’s one of those few things that I feel so connected and related to, even if it’s a 25 year old movie, it holds up better than ever. I can’t recommend this movie enough because of how perfectly articulated it is. I feel that it may also have a greater impact on men. 1000% must watch. Cya later, byeeeeee! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Samuel S In my opinion this is the best movie in history. I recommend because it is a thought-provoking movie. The main characters acting is very good. For me this movie is unforgettable. In moments, I dont known what happens. The plot twist is weird. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/24 Full Review Miguel M Um filme perfeito, que sabe fazer críticas além do consumismo, além de ter uma direção e trilha sonora maravilhosa. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Santiago Josué T One of the best movies you can see, if you see it for the first time it will blow your mind, if you see it a second time it will be just as good even if you know what the ending will be, no minute is filler and it is worth watching every second of this movie. The performances are unique and Norton demonstrated a great level of acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
