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

5 out of 5 starsloved it! ^
what can i say? it's a great movie and now i own it on blu-ray.



5 out of 5 starsFight Club ^
The narrator suffers from a lack of sleep. He tries different ways to cure this, but he does not succeed. He does get some sleep, but his conditions rebounds back into it's original state when he meets a lovely young woman, whose name is Marla. He finds out that she and he both have a lot in common and they spend a lot of time together. While touring, he meets an enigmatic young man named Tyler and after a short conversation both become fast friends. Both like to relieve their inner tensions by hitting each other. Soon word gets around about their fights, and lots of young people also get interested. Then a club is formed, which the narrator and Tyler call 'Fight Club'. Both start spending a lot of time and both also make lots of money. "Fight Club" an aggressive, confrontational, often brutal satire that is quite possibly a brilliant masterpiece. What makes "Fight Club" a subversive delight is not only its refreshing anti-corporate message but how it delivers said message. Its structure is extremely playful as it messes around with linear time to an incredible degree. A dangerously brilliant movie that entertains as well as enlightens, tt doesn't get much better than this.



5 out of 5 starsGreat Movie ^
This is a great movie. If you want an action fight movie that gets you pumped, then this is for you. Easily on my top 5 list. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt both do an amazing job in this.



5 out of 5 starsAmazing ^
I haven't watched Fight Club since shortly after it originally came out and let me say this was amazing. The Blu-ray edition is well worth it with crisp picture quality and wonderful sound. The menu is always good for a laugh too for people who haven't seen it before. ;)



5 out of 5 stars"The first rule about reviewing 'Fight Club' is not to explain what it's about." ^
If you have any doubts about whether you should see this film, put them aside, buy it, and watch it. Then come back and read the reviews.

I first saw "Fight Club" on DVD about eight years ago. It made perfect sense. I immediately "got" what it was about, unlike some reviewers I have great respect for (Ebert, Turan). Then came The Great Reveal at one hour and fifty-three minutes. I sat there blindsided, my jaw open, wondering "What the hell is going on here? What is the point of this, as the story has already made its point?".

One might still raise that obejction, but a second viewing (on Blu-ray) reveals that Fincher drops subtle hints as to what is really going on. Further, what is hidden up to that point is thematically and psychologically consistent with the rest of the story.

This is a film you have to experience and absorb on your own. But... it is absolutely /not/ about the (presumed) pleasure men take in beating up each other (though the title unfortunately suggests that). If you don't understand /why/ they fight, then you've missed one of the story's basic points. (Hint: It's not to affirm their masculinity in a feminized world.) This is not a story about sado-masochism or fascism. It is, as most great American films, an attack on American society and values.

"Fight Club" will someday be recognized as one of /the/ great American films. Why it's taking so long, I don't know.

PS: Blu-ray navigation is occasionally confusing, but "Fight Club" is the hardest-to-navigate BD I've yet viewed. It's difficult to make exactly the selections you want among the options. And there are points in the selection process where everything seems to have locked up, and you have to press Play to get it to continue. The film itself plays flawlessly.
