Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
All films take a certain suspension of disbelief. Fight Club takes perhaps more than others, but if you're willing to let yourself get caught up in the anarchy, this film, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is a modern-day morality play warning of the decay of society. Edward Norton is the unnamed protagonist, a man going through life on cruise control, feeling nothing. To fill his hours, he begins attending support groups and 12-step meetings. True, he isn't actually afflicted with the problems, but he finds solace in the groups. This is destroyed, however, when he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), also faking her way through groups. Spiraling back into insomnia, Norton finds his life is changed once again, by a chance encounter with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), whose forthright style and no-nonsense way of taking what he wants appeal to our narrator. Tyler and the protagonist find a new way to feel release: they fight. They fight each other, and then as others are attracted to their ways, they fight the men who come to join their newly formed Fight Club. Marla begins a destructive affair with Tyler, and things fly out of control, as Fight Club grows into a nationwide fascist group that escapes the protagonist's control.

Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. --Jenny Brown

Rating: - favoloso!!!!!!!!!!
allora, penso di averlo visto una decina di volte e, ogni volta, mi piace sempre di più! Brad Pitt è bravissimo ma l'anima del film è Edward Norton uno dei più talentusi attori in circolazione oggi. (dimenticavo, con Pitt ci doveva essere anche Norton, per il premio al miglior carattere stilato da Empire, perchè alla fine Tyler Durden è Norton-Pitt)

Rating: - 2.5 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:

Despite having acquired a considerable cult following, this movie is little more than artfully constructed eye-candy--pretty boys without shirts for the girls to enjoy, and explosions and anarchy for the boys.

Rating: - What do you get when you adapt a worthless novel? A worthless film
Oh man, oh man, talk about a film that doesn't deserve all the cult like respect it gets, then let's talk about Fight Club.

Misunderstood by practically every mindless drone who, after watching it for the first time, went out and started their own clubs leading to severe, yet hilarious, injuries and other goings ons, what we have here is a violent nosedive by David Fincher who crafted a supreme piece of neo-noir called Seven.

The philosophy of the film is not profound nor ... Read More

Rating: - Sick and tired of being sick and tired
Sick and tired of corporate American greed, Norton's character seeks comfort in a few weird places. He eventually meets Pitt's character on a plane ride home. Circumstance puts them together soon after and the Fight Club emerges. The end result is bringing down the system and that is a metaphor for what Norton's character goes through till the end. Add Helena Carter's character, Marla Singer, recently in the Sweeney Todd remake, and you have the dark necessary to truly make this movie work.
