This is American self-absorption at its finest.
[A] bold, inventive, sustained adrenaline rush of a movie...
Delivers a sucker punch to the audience and then pulls the rug out from under it. It is sensational.
Fight Club rolls out its indictments and its Zen koans, but what it really resembles, perhaps unknowingly, is the squall of a whiny and essentially white-male generation that feels ruined by the privileges of women and a booming economy.
If, as Fincher has said, this movie is supposed to be funny, then the joke's on us.
A bloody, hilarious ride into the twisted recesses of the modern male psyche.
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 terrific Blu-ray release that will keep Fight Club misread as a nihilistic paean to violence%u2014or as a celebration of hyper-masculinity%u2014for years to come.
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.
I don't mind a film with a surprise ending but, rather than enhancing the film, the climactic revelation in Fight Club cancels out everything previously seen. In fact, the bitter end of the film is a hypocritical cop-out.
Vibrant and funny, but more than a bit muddle-headed.
An exciting, dangerous, and intense story.
You can call [it] irresponsible. Or you can call it the only essential Hollywood film of 1999.
It might not be as controversial as it was back in 1999, but it's definitely just as relevant.
Durden is so intense, focused and honestly violent that the messianic hold he has on his followers is palpable. It's one of the best things that Pitt has done and his performance helps to recommend the film.
