Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

From the guitar roar on the Dust Brothers' opening title track through to the thundering drums of Pixies' Where Is My Mind? it is pure synapse-splitting sensory overload and the road that commercial cinema refused to take.

Rated: 5/5

Times (UK)

David Fincher’s adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel is a shrewd and expertly crafted study of the male in crisis.

Perhaps it is postmodern filmmaking, whatever that means. In any case, Fight Club remains the ugliest, most inhuman film since Natural Born Killers.

Fight Club did indeed fly over the heads of audiences expecting straight macho action thrills, as opposed to a mind-messing critique of the same, as well as capitalism, material acquisition, masculinity and other sacred cows of national identity.

With an absolutely brilliant direction and execution, David Fincher uses Jim Uhls’ captivating, layered, unconventional screenplay to tackle themes such as consumerism, society’s behavior, and mental health.

One of the best movies in the 20th century, it really shows how a regular man can turn into something more than just regular. I can’t spoil much to people who haven’t watched it to enjoy this experience. But I would recommend this. I can’t give it a perfect rating, because I still think that the movie can get a little messy at times but it’s a good film, I enjoyed it.

What setting are we put in? When you watch a movie for 2 hours, you enter into the protagonist's perspective. Here we are watching a mentally ill man, for 2 hours. I think it's a decent watch when you don't know the ending. But for someone who's figured it out, the fact that they're the same person, it really doesn't offer much. I rewatched it after 10 years knowing nothing but the ending, but still felt unimpressed with the plot. There's no real plot to it. And again, we're entering a mentally ill man's brain state for 2 hours. Not the coolest place to be. Is this because it pushes me towards that or makes me question who is real in my life? Not exactly - it just isn't entertaining. Does make me wanna learn some fighting though.

Did not particularly enjoy this film. I understand it but overall was bored and it didn’t do much for me.

Num ano recheado de grandes filmes, o facto de "Clube de Combate" ser um dos mais lembrados até hoje é facilmente justificado. É um filme com excelente direção, roteiro, atuação e trilha sonora, fora uma das mais bem executadas reviravoltas da história do cinema.
