NOT THAT VIOLENT, REALLY!
This film may be many things...But it certainly isn't as violent as people like to make out, however it's a film that you're not likely to forget in hurry either.

For anyone who appriecates the style of an independent movie with a mainstream budget and cast, then this is right up your street. One of the most entertaining things about Fight Club is the intelligent well thought-out plot schematic although the basic story is fairly simple to follow there are many questions that the plot opposes to the audience and choices you have to decide between. Such as Black Comedy or Anarcistic Art?, Dangerous or Enteraining?

For me, Fight Club is not a truly dangerous film, it doesen't seem to set any kind of harmful influencial tone (whereas Natural Born Killers does and has done), this movie is something very original and very refreshing. With unforgetable charaters (Helena Bonham Carter gives a spectacular performance, that's slightly out of her routine acting kitch), cruel but very funny situtions and grim set pieces. Not to metion the wonderful camera rigs and innovative direction from underated four-film wonder David Fincher.

I strongly recommend that you buy this without hesitation, it's a throughly new take on 'Independent movie making from Hollywood'.

Congratulations Mr Fincher (You've done it again)

Stunning
Easily Makes the Top Five movies of all time list. Flawless. Absolutely flawless. I believe this movie was completely mis- marketed at its initial release and goes far beyond just a "Van Damme Tourney Fighter" movie (Oh yea, you know it: Bloodsport, The Quest, The Quest 2, Street Fighter; was it just me or were these movies all exactly the same?)This movie delves extremely deep into the general concensus of the working class mind and produces a fanatical satire of grand proportions. The bloogy fight are just an added bonus. This is one of the most daring films I have ever seen, including tiny details that cannot possibly be dissected or understood until the second time you see it. Brilliant. If you like this, go see: Requiem for a Dream, Donnie Darko, Pi, Memento, The Cube and Minority Report.

A DVD that you MUST have!
If you're one of those DVD owners that won't ever consider buying a DVD unless some special feature is added, like a director's commentary or deleted scenes, than Fight Club is the one DVD that can't leave you unsatisfied. This DVD has so many extras, which probably took a whole separate talented production team aside from the film's crew. Deleted scenes and funny commentary by the Fincher, Pitt and Norton are my favorites.

That's just what's great about the "DVD," so what about the actual film? In a nutshell (I can't even mention the word "nutshell" without thinking of Austin Powers, but I digress...), the movie is visual perfection. Fincher films this creative and intriguing story in a such a way that it combines biting narrative and chaos-driven imagery seamlessly. You hear Edward Norton talk about his "single-serving"-packed life (single-serving sugar, single-serving friends...) and you see his life, almost too-normal life that is, and the message is clear: we all live single-serving lives. Well, this is how ONE guy chose to deal with it.

I won't get into the storyline (you can read a summary somewhere else), but if you indulge in great acting (Norton is phenomenal), inappropriate humor (which just makes it more hilarious), and filmmaking that is just hands-down beautiful, Fight Club, regardless of all the invalids that didn't like the movie because they "didn't get it," is one of the best films you can ever experience.
