Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
All films require a certain suspension of disbelief, Fight Club perhaps more than others; but if you're willing to let yourself get caught up in the anarchy, this film, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is a modern-day morality play warning of the decay of society. Edward Norton is the unnamed protagonist, a man going through life on cruise control, feeling nothing. To fill his hours, he begins attending support groups and 12-step meetings. True, he isn't actually afflicted with the problems, but he finds solace in the groups. This is destroyed, however, when he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), also faking her way through groups. Spiralling back into insomnia, Norton finds his life is changed once again, by a chance encounter with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), whose forthright style and no-nonsense way of taking what he wants appeal to our narrator. Tyler and the protagonist find a new way to feel release: they fight. They fight each other, and then as others are attracted to their ways, they fight the men who come to join their newly formed Fight Club. Marla begins a destructive affair with Tyler, and things fly out of control, as Fight Club is transformed into a nationwide fascist group.

The depiction of violence in Fight Club is unflinching, but director David Fincher's film is captivating and beautifully shot, with camerawork and effects that are almost as startling as the script. The movie is packed with provocative ideas and images--from the satirical look at the emptiness of modern consumerism to quasi-Nietzschean concepts of "beyond good and evil"--that will leave the viewer with much food for thought to take away. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has a great sense of humour too. Even if it leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort this is a movie that you'll have to see again and again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. --Jenny Brown, Amazon.com




Rating: - Beautiful, clever, sardonic - don't listen to the Whitehouses of this world!!
For those of you who only know the controversy associated with Fight Club, take it from me, it's all for nothing. The people who complain about the raw depiction of white-collar violence clearly pressed the stop button less than half-way through the film. Which would be silly, because although the fighting is slightly gory, it's not the worst out there by a long way and more importantly, the fighting makes up such a miniscule part of the film's duration and message anyway. So if you've been persuaded ... Read More

Rating: - not nietzschean or fascist
people who claim the philosophy of this film is close to nietzsche's are wrong. the buildings blown up at the end of the film would have been full of the 'botched and bungled' if nietzscher had his way or at least tyler would not have bothered with any effort to make sure the lowly security guard wasn't in the building. the film isn't about a superior few, supermen. it isn't racist as there are black people in it. people who don't like this film probably don't like it because of its violence, but the violence ...
