Bob Graham

Delivers a sucker punch to the audience and then pulls the rug out from under it. It is sensational. It is also grimly funny. Read full review

It always surprises, never bores. It's also just damn good, on every possible level -- so go see it. Now. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Fight Club's dirty little secret is it's one of the best comedies of the decade. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

It's visually surrealistic, acted with integrity, so brutal in spots that I averted my eyes. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Keeps filmgoers wondering what will happen next even as they are repulsed by what's happening in front of them.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

This exercise in mainstream masochism, macho posturing, and designer-grunge fascism is borderline ridiculous. But it also happens to be David Fincher's richest movie. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

If, as Fincher has said, this movie is supposed to be funny, then the joke's on us. Read full review

I've read alot of crtic reviews that don't like this film however the vast majority of movie goers reviews I read are extremly positive.

Great film; negative reviews here often reflect a sloppy or down-right non-existent understanding of the movie. Case in point: "..spend two hours wondering why the characters would rather punch each other than do something useful with their time and energy." - Alexander G.

A perfect quirky movie. Great twists and great plot. And funny. But for me, the underlying message is the problem of the modern male whose masculinity is constantly under siege which in one scene or more scenes this takes a liiteral bent.

the most mindblowing plot twist in the history of Hollywood. The first time I watched this movie I had to sit down and just think for 30 minutes before I could move on with my day, and still, it would constantly come back to my mind for weeks.

Fight Club starts out great, with cool edgy music and great narration and this movie only gets better from there. Throughout I want this movie to go on forever and when you reach the end and you realize what this movie has been leading up to thats when you realize that this movie has an incredible plot, script, and is acted out by Norton and Pitt very vividly and thought out. Fight Club leaves you wanting more, and sadly it cannot provide for that but with great directing by Fincher, a great plot and script Fight Club is definetly one of my favorite movies of all time. 10/10… Expand

This is a film where you feel that M. Night Shyamalan watched it and then built his his career off it, a very clever and original film. A deserved classic and one of my favourite films
