Customer Reviews of Fight Club (Single Disc Edition)
Funny and brutal; walloping kinetic power. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers lavished so much praise on this film (four mentions in his year-end best-of list) that it was with a considerable amount of sarcasm that I put this tape on. Happily, the film actually holds up to the accolades.
Though it starts off as yet another post-modern MTV kind of irreverent thrill-ride, Fight Club soon distinguishes itself, at first by its performances. Edward Norton's low-key conviction scores again; he is the highly able center of this film, the human core amidst all the dazzling filmmaking, expressionistic lighting, and strange scenarios. Helena Bonham Carter also distinguishes herself, playing to perfection the same kind of nutball she played in Getting It Right, and by the time Brad Pitt enters the picture, I was hooked. Director David Fincher remains one of those directors who could use the limited Pitt effectively, and Pitt is great in this film -- using his impressive physicality to the max, staying within his range, and working like a charm.
The film's one fault is overlength. Nearing its second hour the film's gross-out humour and sociological and psychological irreverence start to wear thin, deteriorating into a kind of extended imitation of a previous Pitt vehicle, 12 Monkeys. Thankfully, Fincher concocts another visually impressive, visceral ending to bring life back into the film, and Norton in the final reel is a delight as he struggles with his identity crisis.
A producer last year made the comment that with Being John Malkovich, Fight Club and Run Lola Run (perhaps throwing in that less technically accomplished but still pioneering dark horse, The Blair Witch Project), filmmaking has entered a new stage. Having seen two of the three and discovered that both hold up technically as well as narratively and dramatically, I'm looking forward to Being John Malkovich.
Not bad, but...
OK, blend Matrix, Guy Richi, and Osama Bin Laden and you get a masterpiece? A funny comedy, not more. Fight Club is brilliant in the beginning with all that satire, but when it gets philosophical, I felt like I have seen this before.
Famous Fight Club quote.
"F*** Martha Stewart. Martha's polishing the brass on the Titanic; it's all going down, man."
-- She just 5 months in prison and 5 months of home confinement. Isn't it wierd how much of this film has been almost prophetic?
