Premise
Edward Norton and Brad Pitt star as founders of a fight club that explodes into a global organization of mayhem. Based on the Chuck Palahniuk novel.
Loved
The great balance between thought-provoking and pure entertainment.
Thoughts
What I recall was me describing it as an "art film for the masses". There was some edgy themes and social commentary/mockery to think about, while the visuals and violence made it accessible and entertaining. The cast was perfect (including Meat Loaf and Helena Bonham Carter), the Dust Brothers score was unique yet not distracting, David Fincher's style was fun to watch, and I enjoyed the dialogue/monologues and explorations into the American society and psyche, even if in the end they might not mean much once the film's over.
Easily a re-watchable film for me.
What I would change
Nothing.
