Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. --Jenny Brown

Fight Club gives people the chance to come face to face with the antagonist, be it a stranger or someone you have known all of your life. Stranger's sometimes have more control over your life than you do. Edward Norton is excellent as the narrator and one of the best actors to emerge over the last 15 years. Both will heal over time, but the mental scars go deeper. Psychological and physical violence both leave scars. The premise of the film is to fight back. Helena Bonham Carter is worth seeing as Marla Singer the woman who feels left out and realizes that a woman isn't the only one who can feel downtrodden and abused. Meatloaf also turns in great performance as Bob, whose mental scars are almost as large as his physical ones.

Brad Pitt turns in a great performance as Tyler Durden the "partner" of Norton. I stand with the former loved it. Fight Club was one those films which fall into the category of "loved it or hated it ". Fight Club has a nice plot twist and is always throwing in new little subplots' to keep you on your toes.

Want to get a clue. Fight Club straight-arms right through a whole crowd of taboos. It is a movie that involves violence, nothing more. Fight Club is provocative entertainment. This is not a fascist movie. Fight Club lived to look down upon it and all its minions and say: Your name is Robert Paulson. Pitt's work. I'm not even a 'twenty-something'.

This is not a "gruesome" movie. See the movie. Mussolini mentioned later on in his career that given a choice he would've renamed fascism 'corporatism'. I'm not under twenty-five.

That was the world that put Wall Street in the state it's in today, lid nailed shut, coins on eyelids, talking out of its grave for all intents and purposes. The fact is that Fight Club has 1376 reviews dating from 1999 forward on Amazon, the vast majority of them five-star (refer to this webpage). Take a good look around the country that you live in. Ed Norton might've been the only actor at that time who could have got on the ground and gotten on down with that role in triple-x style. Well, I guess that'll have to keep 'til the near-future. See the movie. If that's true, then that's just one more reason to say 'Bravo.'.

Given the times we live in, with the Fight Club scenario coming true before our eyes (sans the home-made dynamite), there's no better moment to post this review. If you think you're above or beyond taking a good look at this movie, and considering what its subtext might be, you're f.o.s., you're a coward. I'm not white. It was Brad's role as 'Tyler Durden' that made me truly respect Mr. This is not just a 'guy-flick'. Even when people don't know how to put the Truth into words they know it when they see it, and they know what they like.

Stop ducking and hiding. First I'll say some relevant facts about me as a reviewer of this film and about what this movie is *not*, then we''ll take a look at the facts about what the movie *is*. Regarding the Cast:. 1999 is a long time gone, with its smug assurance and bovine trust. Helena Bonham Carter's character 'Marla' is stronger, more fun and more 'together' than 98% of the scared fakes you meet in any office.

It's said that he supplied all the clothes that he wore for his role (culled from the thrift shops of the Silverlake District). Fight Club speaks directly about 'The Wasteland' that the supposedly well-adjusted live in ("our Great War's a Spiritual War"). Just see the movie. I have been lucky enough to know a fair number of women who chose to buy or rent, then watch and re-watch this movie with no prompting from me. The sort of people who call it fascist have no idea of what 'fascist' is.

I'm a veteran of the current conflict and I say this to you. Those who get distracted by the violence are looking for excuses to be distracted, or to distract *you*. I hope Director David Finch is pleased. See the movie. Stop running away. You don't have to be white to like this movie. They were a lot of fun too, so that's something to consider. He took his part as the film's protagonist *to school*.

The fact is that after it "failed" upon its commercial release (refer to the Wikipedia entry) and got panned by multiple paid reviewers, its financial success and their reviews did a u-turn by 2004 and has since placed as one of the top ten films of the last hundred years. If after twenty-five years of eagerly watching a steady escalation of violence and gore you find this movie "painful to watch" while you apathetically sit around letting other people do your fighting for you (while artfully pretending to be apalled) you're a ridiculous wuss. You are scared of anything that might make you take a second look at your priorites and the way that you actually spend the minutes and hours of your days. That's another evasion. Would it be such a bad thing if more women got in touch with their 'inner-Marla' and, for figurative example, took 'her' out for drinks.

There are those who have a vested interest in making sure people continue 'working jobs that they hate so they can buy garbage they don't need'. Control your fear. There is no other movie more appropriate and prophetic about the times we live in, so this review warrants a departure from what you're used to. Obviously there was enough 'meat' and substance here to attract and retain a cult.

Edward Norton and Brad Pitt both play their characters perfectly. Fantastic movie based on a fantastic book. It's a little bit different than the book (story-wise), but all the changes were good adaptations to the media difference.

It's satire against the people who believe that they cannot be laughed at or shown as weak. The message of Fight Club is, simply this: you are a willing slave. The problem with Fight Club is that it is hitting every single taboo of American society square in the face. It picks at every weakness unrelentingly, until the world as we know it is left permanently scarred and bleeding. It's not meant to be just a film, but a guide book to getting back to something that has nothing to do with what car you drive or how much money you have in your bank account.

Then it asks: Do you want to change it.

It throws materialism in your face, taunts you with your own petty desires, and shows you the root of humanity, what it is to be human.

Hands down, my favorite movie of all time.

It's dark in a way that would make humanists cringe, and it's automatically going to make anyone in love with the modern world furious.

Most people aren't even going to understand it, let alone appreciate it for what it is.

Fight Club is one of the few movies I've ever viewed that basically takes a look at our society, and tells you not only what is wrong and missing, but how to fix it.

There's a lot that can be said of Fight Club, first that it is not a movie for people who are perfectly content with society, or who frequently shop at IKEA or love their Starbucks.

This is precisely the reason there are many people who loathe it.
