Movie Info
In this darkly comic drama, Edward Norton stars as a depressed young man (named in the credits only as "Narrator") who has become a small cog in the world of big business. He doesn't like his work and gets no sense of reward from it, attempting instead to drown his sorrows by putting together the "perfect" apartment. He can't sleep and feels alienated from the world at large; he's become so desperate to relate to others that he's taken to visiting support groups for patients with terminal

It is working American Beauty-Susan Faludi territory, that illiberal, impious, inarticulate fringe that threatens the smug American center with an anger that cannot explain itself, can act out its frustrations only in inexplicable violence.
Top CriticBlistering, hallucinatory, often brilliant, the film by David Fincher is a combination punch of social satire and sociopathology.
Fight Club is an arresting, eventually appalling excursion into social satire by way of punishing violence.
We're meant to take the male bonding and the blood rituals as a protest against the sterility of corporate life and modern design, but Fincher's sadomasochistic kicks overwhelm any possible social critique.
This is American self-absorption at its finest.
[A] bold, inventive, sustained adrenaline rush of a movie...
Fight Club jettisons its sense of humour 60 minutes in, and, so far from satirising the tiresome "crisis of masculinity" stuff sloshing around the airwaves either side of the Atlantic, the film simply endorses it.
Wildly inventive, exceptionally cast and undeniably controversial, there's an endless list of subtexts and viewpoints which will fuel student pub debates for years.
A controversial satire and a contemporary classic.
A movie that wants to keep its audience unsettled from beginning to end.
There's many levels of brilliance to this film, from the script to the acting to the cinematography to the overall directing.
A shrewd, scintillating work rooted in an investigation of varying degrees of masculinity and extremism.
Lurid, twisted, and violent. Not for kids.
where Taxi Driver sees the fallacy in canonizing Travis Bickle, Fight Club does it without irony.
The last great male-centric movie of the last millennium just arrived on a spectacular new Blu-ray disc for its 10th anniversary, providing the opportunity to relish every aspect of David Fincher's ultimate dissection of Gen-X masculinity. Fight Club</
A complex, confused look at life in late-'90s America, David Fincher's blood-black comedy Fight Club remains one of the most divisive pictures of the past 20 years.
Fight Club is still today a definitive film, a statement as strong as any rock anthem and twice as packed with power chords.
One of the seminal films of the 1990s...just as darkly funny, epic, and psychically wrenching as ever. [Blu-ray]
"Fight Club" is a cinematic Hail-Mary pass from David Fincher that the audience desperately wants to catch.
May also be yet another example of a book that was just fine as a book -- that didn't need to be made into a film.
