Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
All films take a certain suspension of disbelief. Fight Club takes 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. Spiraling 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 grows into a nationwide fascist group that escapes the protagonist's control.

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

- Right There
I know this is old news...my daughter introduced me to this movie several years ago...I just watched it again tonight....A great satire on modern american culture....Superb on on every level...should have been awarded the Oscar for best picture of the year.....clearly one of the best of the last ten years....

- B-movie at best...
I didn't even find this interesting. I stayed up way too late watching this DVD I got for father's day. It was a mix between Joe Versus The Volcano and A Beautiful Mind. I didn't get it. Actually, I thought it was retarted.

- Misunderstood psycho?
Fight Club is just one of the film's you have to see to believe. I pretty much saw the twist the whole way through but Edward Norton and Brad Pitt keep this movie from sinking into a pool of blood. The premise of the film is pretty simple, no one talks about Fight club etc. This film just seems too out there and never fully exciting. The violence is somewhat brutual but hey Pitt's body is nice to look at. Good movie but not a masterpiece.

- Nihilsm Was Never This Entertaining

"Whaddya got?"
-The Wild One

Fight Club is the most bitter, hateful, cynical, sadistic, misogyistic, vulgar, self-loathing, disgusting, alienated, spiteful rant I've ever seen. In other word's: it's great entertainment. On the surface, Fight Club is saying "think for yourself" but beneath the surface, Fight Club is saying, "please don't think." The plot is so unrealistic, it defies the viewer to take it seriously.

- It's not about the violence stupid.
Fight Club is a metaphor for embracing our humanity, in all its gory glory, in the face of crushing modern pressures to settle for sterilty and comfort instead. I watched this movie repeatedly before I took the plunge and quit my soul sucking corporate job. It's been a ride ever since.

If you liked Fight Club, check out American Beauty, Office Space, and The Matrix. They all riff on basically the same (worthy) theme.
