Fight Club
Fight Club
A ticking-time-bomb insomniac and a slippery soap salesman channel primal male aggression into a shocking new form of therapy. Their concept catches on, with underground "fight clubs" forming in every town, until an eccentric gets in the way and ignites an out-of-control spiral toward oblivion.

Fight Club, a film with excellent acting, script and plot-line, with the talents of both lead and support actors. The opening scenes do more than just set the scene; they plunge the audience straight into the dark and twisted world the writers and film-makers have created. What is happening? What has happened? The narrator proceeds to tell us.
At first things seem simple enough, if an underground Fight Club rapidly evolving can be called simple. But, like all good plots, this one has a few twists to its name, and surprises they are.
Fight Club presents numerous ideas and concepts that really do begin to make sense as the film progresses. The audience is lured into a sense of thinking where suddenly the material comforts of the world take on new (and irrelevant) meanings. With fights, guns, home-made dynamite and a storyline just as explosive, Fight Club should be held in high regard by all critics of modern cinema.
And as if the film itself wasn't enough, here we have a 2-disc Special Edition, offering yet another aspect to this multi-dimensional tale. Audio commentary, deleted and alternate scenes, and behind the scenes are just some of the features in this brilliant set.
I loved it for all the reasons given here, and more: it's hard to describe exactly the impact of this film, so if you really want to find out about Fight Club, I highly recommend you purchase this title.
