Synopsis

One of the most ambitious, dark and brutal (and unapologetically homoerotic to boot) films to come out of Hollywood in years.

Review

A smart and sexy adrenaline rush, the subversive Fight Club bids farewell to the old millennium and greets the new as it tears apart the mores and morals of the great, late 20th century. Seven director Fincher brings the same kind of gut-level tension that distinguished that film to this nihilistic tale of white, disenfranchised blue-collar men who find emotional release in nightly shirtless bareknuckle fighting - in the form of a vibrant, hyperventilating black comedy.

Norton is the Narrator, an angst-ridden businessman whose life dramatically changes when he meets the mysterious and gorgeous Tyler Durden (Pitt). Together they start Fight Club, a movement that catches on like wildfire. Violent and vibrant, the film is a ravaging attack on consumerism and a bloody exercise in machismo, as members beat each other senseless in superbly choreographed fight scenes. But this is a film where not everything is as it appears, and Fincher takes delight in confounding and provoking.

Norton and Pitt are excellent, each submerging themselves into their roles with bravado and verve. In addition, the palpable homoerotic tension between the two flies throughout the film more frequently than do the teeth punched out here. (After questioned why he kicked the shit out of a bleached-blonde and very hot-looking Jared Leto, Norton responds with: "I wanted to destroy something beautiful.") Pitt is in top shape (often seen shirtless, at one point apparently "fisting" Bonham Carter in a twisted sex scene that Norton stumbles upon), and with his shaved head, menacing attitude, and wicked smile is a dirty-guy lover's total wet dream.

A brave, daring, troubling, frustrating film
that can also serve as high-class guilty pleasure "erotica."

-- Erik Schut

Favorite Line

"The first rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is - you do not talk about Fight Club." -- Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden.

Palahnuik's writing

AvidSeramyuFan (omar_rocks@cox.net) wrote on 10/03/2003:

Fight Club, a movie based on a novel by Chuck Palahnuik. Surprisingly, the film is almost as good as the book. It was adapted very VERY nicely. The film is very homoerotic. Of course, who could not be attracted to Brad and Edward?

I highly suggest this film. I highly suggest the book. I highly suggest the other Palanuik books!
Survivor
Invisible Monsters (Very gay themed)
Choke
Lullaby
Diary

Palahnuik is one of the best satirical writers out there, and this adaptation to his first novel is well worth the money!

The Millenium Begins

tylersdog wrote on 07/03/2001:

Along with films like "Run,Lola,
Run" and "Moulin Rouge", "Fight
Club" welcomes the new millenium
with a fresh attitude towards
telling stories on film. I can't
recall any other movie which
takes place ENTIRELY in the
mind of the lead character.And
as an audience member, you know
this immediately and director
David Fincher, along with great
work from Brad Pitt, Helena
Bonham-Carter, the set and
costume designers and the cine
matographer and the editor,
invite you to solve the riddles
(and there are many of them) in
the film. The dvd comes with some
great extras on a whole separate
disc, as well as a superior
transfer of the film itself.
"Fight Club" is too exciting to
sum up in a quick review, but
will, I believe, be seen for
years by people who love films,
especially adventurous ones.
