A dazzling entertainment that wants us to luxuriate in violence as we condemn it; a brilliant solution to depicting the divided self as a protagonist; and proof that Brad Pitt, as well as Edward Norton, can really act.

The disenfranchised modern male has been the subject of several Hollywood films. But few have matched the dramatic punch of Fight Club.

5/5

The movie is not merely the best of the week, month or even year, but a singular event, like the opening of 2001 or Pulp Fiction. You know you are seeing something brand new and emotionally powerful even if you don't necessarily know what it means.

A visually stunning 4K presentation of David Fincher's enduring cult classic.

The error in many subsequent interpretations of Fight Club is believing Tyler Durden's philosophy. The film itself rejects it.

3.5/4

Modern materialism takes a beating in Fight Club. So do its practitioners. So do those who wish to destroy it. So does the audience. But in this case it's an exhilarating pounding, administered by a master manipulator.

It’s 2026 & I just watched this movie for the first time & in theaters on top of that. Great graphics, great acting, good storyline. I do think it’s a little too long. I probably won’t watch it again but it’s a good movie.
