Review of Fight Club (1999) by Nikolayg — 06 May 2014
Fight Club is about a guy who feels deadened by modern life, so he starts a fight club, where guys go after work to get a taste of something undeniably real, so when they go to work the next morning, they aren't stressed by work because it's nothing next to the tough stuff they've become accustomed to in the fight club.
It's pretty good, in a weird way, until the last act where it goes very over the top and introduces a super high concept twist, which is just off the wall. And the final scene makes no sense at all. At the end, the protagonist wants to stop someone, but the action he takes would not stop the events he wants to stop.
It's too late. Yet he acts as if it isn't. It's just nonsensical. But it was fun. Reminded me a little of Twelve Monkeys, which is a far superior movie also with Brad Pitt.
