The first rule of watching Fight Club is...
The defining film for the dislocated, young, generation of today; or as Edward Norton put it in the films commentary: one of a "new wave of zeitgeist films". Unfortunately, the majority of opinions vocalized for "Fight Club" have completely misinterpreted David Fincher's and Chuck Palahniuk's message. This is not a pro-fascist, a pro-violent or a pro-nihilist film whatsoever. Toss whatever you heard from Rosie O'Donnell out the window. What Fincher has crafted here is a brilliant and witty contemporary masterpiece using stunning visuals and hilarious irony. However, be warned: this is no humble "The Cider House Rules" and it's far darker than "American Beauty", nonetheless Fincher always includes a dose of comic relief from the film's darkest moments.

If your are used to typical, uninspired, formulaic, Hollywood films, the method in which "Fight Club"'s message is delivered may disturb you. However, by the end of "Fight Club", I guarantee you will be convinced of the directorial talent of David Fincher and the outstanding, acting, ability of Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter.

A note for those of you purchasing the DVD. Without question, it is definitely worth it. The 2 CD set comes packed with 4 different commentaries, the "Fight Club" catalogue, deleted scenes w/commentary, hilarious Public Service Announcements and plenty of other goodies to keep you busy.

A Groundbreaking Film! Brilliant Performances!
It is a rare occurrence when one finds a movie that can captivate a viewer and suddenly and without warning turn everything around to the point where the person says, "Wait a MINUTE!" David Fincher's masterful and exciting film FIGHT CLUB does more than simply entertain. It blows the mind! Edward Norton plays the un-named narrator and average-guy insomniac who becomes obsessed with self-help groups, though nothing is seriously wrong with him. When he meets another "faker" as he calls himself, he becomes mixed up with Marla Singer(Helena Bonham Carter), a chain smoker with suicidal tendencies. Norton flies around the country assessing car damages for his job, and on a particular flight he meets Tyler Durden(Brad Pitt). Tyler is the epitome of stylish, cool, and without a doubt the one man who can do anything. Norton's apartment mysteriouly explodes, and Durden allows Norton to stay with him. Together, they discover a certain animal pleasure in fighting. They form an underground FIGHT CLUB where men meet and simply fight each other. Soon however, this organization will become much more than just a club. Edward Norton gives a phenomenal and mesmerizing performance and establishes himself as one of the best young actors of our generation. Brad Pitt is simply amazing as Durden, playing a role that only a gifted actor could accomplish. Helena Bonham Carter gives a surprisingly powerful performance as Marla and gives the character tons of dimension. Also great is the supporting performace by Meatloaf, an ex-bodybuilder with testicular cancer. David Fincher has directed a fast-paced, humorous, and spectacular film whose most incredible and surprising twist near the end will knock you off your seat! I cannot tell you what that is however. It is something you must find out on your own.
