Review of Fight Club (1999) by Mrmoviebuff — 30 Oct 2015

A fun, twisted movie full of some great acting from Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Helena Bonham Carter. Directed by the great David Fincher, it tells the story of a nobody who meets an eccentric soap salesman and forms a "Fight Club".

This group of men get up to no good, causing violent crimes and corruption across the city. Brad Pitt's character, Tyler Durden often dares Norton's character to join in on the mischief.

It's the story of a nobody, finally becoming a somebody, yes it's violent and immoral, but that doesn't have to influence whoever is watching it. It actually can reflect on some issues that occur outside in the real world.

I guess the only thing stopping me from rating this movie a 10/10 was the fact that there are times when the movie's run time can feel a little long, and maybe there are some scenes that go over the top. Without spoiling too much, it involves a scene where Norton's character beats another member to a pulp.

Overall, this is a classic, seen it many times in the past, and plan on seeing it many more times in the future.
