Directed
by

Fincher
How
overjoyed
I
was
when
this
film
came
out
(one
of
my
favourite
films
of
its
release
year
teetering
at
the
edge
of
the
century),
not
displaying
the
crap
story
element
of
director
Fincher's
appalling
film
The
Game.
Alien3
and
Se7en
were
awesome,
and
the
ludicrous
Game
made
me
worry
that
Fincher
might
not
be
as
good
as
he
appeared.
How
very
wrong
that
would've
been!
This
anarchic
psychologically
twisted
masterpiece
about
an
insurance
claims
investigator
whose
dreary
life
and
insomnia
drives
him
to
extreme
measures
not
only
pokes
fun
at
society
and
humanity,
but
also
makes
you
think
about
our
blind
consumerist
ad-driven
lives.
When
meeting
soap
salesman
Tyler
on
one
of
many
job
related
plane
trips
and
his
flat
explodes,
the
life
of
our
nameless
narrator
is
changed
forever.
The
two
embark
on
a
journey
of
self-discovery
via
good
friendly
violence.
They
create
Fight
Club,
where
strict
rules
are
bound
and
men
get
together
to
beat
the
shit
out
of
each
other.
From
merely
coming
to
grips
with
your
own
capabilities
and
destroying
the
daily
norm,
it
escalates
into
a
virtual
army
of
disciples
with
powerful
capabilities.
There
is
also
the
hate-love
relationship
with
a
woman
(Marla)
who
would
make
any
Goth
proud.
Obsessed
with
death,
she
seems
like
the
one
thing
that
could
come
between
the
new
blood
brothers.
Amazingly
shot,
meticulously
directed,
fabulously
acted
and
with
such
a
gritty
sense
of
cool,
you
gotta
love
this
film
on
every
level
(the
unforgettable
scenes
too
many
to
even
get
started
on
-
almost
every
sequence
containing
a
stark,
hilarious,
shocking
or
aesthetically
admirable
portion,
sometimes
all
at
once!).
The
2
disc
DVD
release
contains
the
film
in
the
only
format
worth
subscribing
to:

crystal
clear
surround

well

Brothers.

There

Is
Your

scenes
and
their
alternates
can
both
be
viewed

it
was
cut

All

all
one
splendid

only
in
content,
but
also
in
its
animated
menus
and
gatefold
packaging,
complete

An
incredible
film
presented

the
most
satisfying
of
ways.
