  • What a suprise! It's not what you think!

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Fight Club is a brash slap in the face of consumerism and the working dead. It questions reality. It is strikingly thought provoking and visually stimulating. The direction is incredibly brilliant. Director David Fincher (Aliens, Se7en and The Game) is at his finest here warping both space and time, dropping in things here and there to make things clear. Edward Norton is excellent as Jack, the narrator of the movie. He is a nerdy insomniac who catalog shops at Ikea and has a going nowhere job. Brad Pitt is dynamic as Tyler Durden, an anarchistic man who lives in a run-down abandoned house and makes and sells soap for a living. Helen Bonham Carter is also great as Marla Singer, the manic-depressive chain-smoking woman in both their lives. Her role is critical and she plays it well.

    There has been some controversy about the violence in this film but it is not gratuitous violence, it is part of the story and serves it well. It is much less than what you would see in your average Hollywood blockbuster. This is actually an insightful film and in many ways similar to American Beauty, although this film is much more in your face about it's message. If you are squeamish, you may not want to see it. There are some very painful bloody scenes, but if you can stomach it, then check it out. There is also a huge twist in this film that almost rivals the twist at the end of The Sixth Sense. And I must admit, it is the twist in this film that made me really love it. The best audience for this film is men in their 20's or 30's, but anyone that can appreciate film as a modern art should like it. One of the best films of 1999.

  • Third rule about Fight Club: love this freakin' movie

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Brilliance (14 reviews) , 14 May 2013
    Fight Club is one of the best film I have ever seen. It might be violent but it has one of the greatest storylines ever. Brad Pitt, Edward Nortan and Helen Bohen Carter are some of the greatest actors of all time. Even if you don't like violent films, you will love this film.

    Ok, so you get the idea but take it from me, you need to watch it. From great visual effects to brilliant acting by Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, the Fight Club is not to be missed. An amazing plot which gives you an ending that you would never have guessed. It causes to think about where you stand in the topics in it. It's simply thrilling. Some films will have a strong cast and then bore endlessly, Fight Club has a strong cast and will leave you tense and satisfied. It is a classic, it will make you laugh, it will give you an inspirational feeling and you will enjoy it. It is not boring in the slightest. At times it gets dark and generally, it's not a happy film. A very different ending makes you think a lot and that's the only real negative. So, take this advice and watch it. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    Fantastic film, definitely worth watching. It's action-packed, funny and awesomely clever. Very quotable too. The cast is great, and play very convincing characters.

    'People are always asking me if I know Tyler Durden.' 'For six months I couldn't sleep.' '..planet Starbucks.' 'I'd flick through catalogues and ask what kind of item defines me as a person.' 'Strangers with this kind of honesty make me go a big rubbery one!' '.. I found freedom. - Losing all hope was freedom.' 'If I didn't say anything people always assumed the worst!' 'Every evening I died and every evening I was born again.' 'And she ruined everything!' '..And suddenly I felt nothing. I couldn't cry so I couldn't sleep.' 'When you have insomnia you're never really asleep or you're never really awake.' 'Look you don't want to get into this it becomes an addiction!' 'The girl had done her homework.' 'This is how I met Marla Singer!' '.. This is your life and its ending one minute at a time.' 'The people that I meet on each flight. - They're single serving friends! Between take off and landing we have our time together. That's all we get.' 'On a long enough time line the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.' - I love that quote! '.. If X is less than a cost of a recall. We don't do one.' - I love how Jack is telling random people these facts on the plane! 'Life Insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip.' 'That's an interesting theory!' 'You have a kind or sick desperation in your laugh!' 'Tyler you are by far the most interesting single serving friend I've met.' 'If you ask me now. I couldn't tell you why I called him!' Is a duvet essential to our survival in the hunter, gather scenario. 'I say never be complete, never be perfect. I say let the chips fall where they may.' 'The things you own, end up owing you!' 'In the industry we call them cigarette burns.' 'He was the guerilla terrorist of the food industry.' 'How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?!' I love how Jack goes into work with a massive black eye! 'Listen to this its an article written by an organ in the first person! - I am Jack's colon!' 'After fighting everything else in your life had the volume turned down. You could deal with anything!' 'We're a generation of men raised by women. - I'm wondering if another woman is what we really need.' Jack in the meeting!!! 'It was right in everyone's face. Tyler and I just made it visible. It was on the tip of everyones' tongue. Tyler and I just gave it a name!' '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!' 'Who you were in Fight Club was not who you were in the rest of the world.' 'We all started seeing things differently. - Everywhere we went we were sizing things up.' 'Fight Club wasn't about winning or losing. - It wasn't about words. The hysterical shouting was in tongues.' 'When the fight was over. Nothing was solved, but nothing mattered. Afterwards nothing mattered.' It can make you a bit paranoid this film!! 'I already knew the story before he told it to me!' I love Tyler's dancing!! 'I am Jack's raging bile duct!' 'She'd invaded my support group, now she'd invaded my home!' 'I became the calm little centre of the world. I was the Zen Master.' 'I am Jack's cold sweat!' 'I'd like to thank the Academy!' '..Someone loved it intensely for one day then tossed it like a Christmas Tree.' 'Without pain, without sacrifice we'd have nothing!' 'No what you're feeling is premature enlightenment!' 'Listen to me you have to consider the possibility that he does not like you. He never wanted you, he hates you. Its not the worst thing that can happen. We don't need him!' 'Congratulations! You're one step closer to bottom.' '..An entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves in white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes. Working in jobs we hate, so we can buy s^%$ we don't need! We're the middle children of history man. - No purpose nor place. We have no great war, no great depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact..' 'No I didn't quite catch that Lou!' 'Now this is not as easy as it sounds!' 'I am Jack's complete lack of surprise!' Jack basically blackmail's his boss! 'I am Jack's smirking revenge!' 'For some reason I thought of my first fight with Tyler.' So Jack gets corporate sponsorship and he's able to have Fight Club every night of the week! 'I am Jack's wasted life!' 'On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone falls to zero.' 'The question.. Raymond... is what did you want to be??!' - 'He had a plan.. the ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.' '..We're the all singing, all dancing, c$)% of the world!' 'Listen what are you getting out of all of this??!' 'This conversation.. is over!' 'Sooner or later we all became what Tyler wanted us to be!' You're not a beautiful snowflake. - Well said! 'We're the all singing, all dancing c^%$ of the world!' 'Look the people you're after are the people you depend upon!' 'I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection!' '.. I wanted to breath smoke!' The scene in the car is great. 'Look at you! You're f&^%^ng pathetic! - Hitting bottom isn't a weekend retreat. - Stop trying to control everything, just let go!' 'Sir the first rule of Project Mayhem is..' 'I am Jack's broken heart.' 'His name is Robert Pulson!' 'I wish I could help you.. sir!' 'I was living in a state of perpetual deja vu!' 'We have just lost cabin pressure!' 'Why would anyone possibly confuse you with me?!' '..Because we're the same person!' 'You were looking for a way to change your life. You could not do this on your own..and most importantly I'm free in all the ways you're not.' - 'They did not have the courage you had to just run with it.' 'Have I been going to bed earlier every night?.. Have I been Tyler longer and longer?!' 'Its under control sir.' 'Sir, anything you order is free of charge!' - 'Why is it free of charge?!' - So Marla orders a big order!! 'I'm not paying this back. I consider it a%$£hole tax!' I kinda feel when the whole terrorist plot kicks in the messages of the film are lost. 'I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid and then I ran some more!' '.. We're not killing anyone we're setting people free!' - 'If you want to make an omlette you gotta break some eggs!' Tyler's got some lovely shoes on! - And I thought he rejected all material possessions!! 'I think this is where about we came in.' 'I still can't think of anything.' - 'Ah flashback humour!' '..As always I will carry you, kicking and screaming and you will thank me!' - 'What you want you wanna go back to the s^%$ world in your condo watching s%$£ films!' '..Not my head Tyler, our head.' Would you really survive that?! 'Hi Marla!' lol! -'Who did?!' 'I did actually!' Great song by the Pixies to play out the movie. 'You met me at a very strange time in my life.'
