| Fight Club Review |
| by Serdar Yegulalp |
| Few movies in 1999 polarized audiences like "Fight Club", which showed Gen-X
men beating on each other as a way of attempting to reclaim their
masculinity, or something. Three camps seem to have sprung up around the
film: hose who love it, those who...more |

| Fight Club Review |
| by Gary Jones |
| In Don DeLillo's novel Underworld, one character argues that "Rage and
violence can be elements of productive tension in a soul. They can serve
the fullness of one's identity. One way a man untrivialises himself is
to punch another man in the mouth."...more |

| "The Fight Club" is ordinarily the kind of film I would stay away
from. The only reason I went is that it thematically related to
"American Beauty" and would serve as a useful counterpoint in
preparing this review. It seemed over-hyped and, even worse,...more |

| FIGHT CLUB is Fincher s third movie outing and with every film, he seems to
out-do himself in style and technical filming. In SEVEN, his dark shots sets
the standard for possibly one of the moodiest Hollywood film ever. In THE
GAME (with Michael Douglas...more |

| 'Fight Club' tells the story of urban paranoia in perhaps the best way I've
seen since Martin Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver' in 1976. The film tries every
possible way to shock the audience with dread, visual excrement, free
flowing ideas and morbid theories...more |

| There is a certain elegance and grace to Fight Club that is rarely seen
in movies today. The scenes flow from one to another, the dialogue seems fresh
and realistic, and the whole movie comes off as being effortless. That, of
course, is not true,...more |

| "Fight Club" is, by and large, an effective film that surrealistically
describes the status of the American male at the end of the 20th
century: disenchanted, unfulfilled, castrated and looking for a way
out. At times equally exhilarating, insightful,...more |

| Well Ok I won't talk about Fight Club. I will say that it is one of the most
incredibly original movie ever made, that is at the same time energetic, funny,

Edward Nortan and...more |

| If you've seen the trailers for Fight Club, you will probably be expecting
a different film than the one you will see. It is not spceifically all
about fighting clubs, and the goings on there, but about a man's journey
outside of himself, his "normal"...more |

| I am an amateur movie reviewer. "Amateur", of course, implies two

I am or by giving me money, are free to...more |

| Wow. Just when I thought all hope was lost for the fall movie season of

testosterone-charged look at the mind...more |

| “Fight Club” is the kind of breathless experience that chews you up,
spits you out, and leaves your senses jaded and disorientated with
