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 Full Review |

5/5 |
Fight Club is still today a definitive film, a statement as strong as any rock anthem and twice as packed with power chords. Full Review |

|
4/4 |
One of the seminal films of the 1990s...just as darkly funny, epic, and psychically wrenching as ever. [Blu-ray] Full Review |

"Fight Club" is a cinematic Hail-Mary pass from David Fincher that the audience desperately wants to catch. Full Review |

[A] bold, inventive, sustained adrenaline rush of a movie... Full Review |

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. Full Review |

 2.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

An exciting, dangerous, and intense story. Full Review |

You can call [it] irresponsible. Or you can call it the only essential Hollywood film of 1999. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

One of the greatest films ever made Full Review |

Pitt bronco-rides through the movie, using many of the nutsy-dangerous mannerisms he previously unloosed in 12 Monkeys. It's the performance you'd expect Pitt to give, and still you can't take your eyes off it. Full Review |

...more clever and kinetic than it is profound, more a visceral movie than a think piece. Full Review |

In the future, all manner of society's ills in the future will be blamed on this movie. [But] this is a film that exposes evil, not one that glorifies it. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
It's a movie with all the warmth of a refrigerated meat locker at midnight. And who wants to hang around there? Full Review |
||
|
|
Lobs punishing combinations at the flabby midsection of life in the 1990s. But as the film wears on, it’s apparent that Fincher can’t deliver the knockout blow. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
This is a strange, agonized film--a darkly comic end-of-the-millennium fable with unforgettable performances and visuals. The writing is tight, smart and edgy; there's no question it hits a chord with our consumer-crazed lifestyle. Full Review |
