Edward Norton Movie:

Editorial Review:
All films take a certain suspension of disbelief. Fight Club takes perhaps more than others, but if you're willing to let yourself get caught up in the anarchy, this film, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, is a modern-day morality play warning of the decay of society. Edward Norton is the unnamed protagonist, a man going through life on cruise control, feeling nothing. To fill his hours, he begins attending support groups and 12-step meetings. True, he isn't actually afflicted with the problems, but he finds solace in the groups. This is destroyed, however, when he meets Marla (Helena Bonham Carter), also faking her way through groups. Spiraling back into insomnia, Norton finds his life is changed once again, by a chance encounter with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), whose forthright style and no-nonsense way of taking what he wants appeal to our narrator. Tyler and the protagonist find a new way to feel release: they fight. They fight each other, and then as others are attracted to their ways, they fight the men who come to join their newly formed Fight Club. Marla begins a destructive affair with Tyler, and things fly out of control, as Fight Club grows into a nationwide fascist group that escapes the protagonist's control.

Fight Club, directed by David Fincher (Seven), is not for the faint of heart; the violence is no holds barred. But the film is captivating and beautifully shot, with some thought-provoking ideas. Pitt and Norton are an unbeatable duo, and the film has some surprisingly humorous moments. The film leaves you with a sense of profound discomfort and a desire to see it again, if for no other reason than to just to take it all in. --Jenny Brown

Fight Club [Region 2] Reviews:
Best version of Fight Club yet... the blu-ray
2009-12-29 - Fight Club BD viewed on a Panasonic 50" plasma via a Panasonic DMP-BD80 through a Yamaha RX-V869 receiver (5.1 speakers) and an HDMI splitter/amp.

PQ - some soft scenes, but some revealing things from viewing the BD - watching Brad Pitt's beer bottle fall as they 1st approach his house; detail in the car crash - outstanding versus the DVD.

AQ - the best. demo quality. from the music to everything else, i rank this DTS-HD track higher than Master and Commander:the far side of the world.

Can't get any better than this!
2009-12-28 - This movie is a must see! Violence and making your own interpretations of a film not your thing? then stay away from this. Also, if you are a feminine then don't bother with it neither. I can't count how many of them hate this movie thinking is so misogynistic and what not. But everyone has a different view on this fantastic film. So this is how it goes, a traveling automobile company employee suffering from insomnia, attends support groups pretending to be a victim. After a flight home, he meets Tyler Durden. And that's where it begins baby! You hear about this movie all the time and now, I suggest you buy it already. The ending is so intense and confusing you'll find out this movie is really not about fighting. It's much more than that. Best movie of the 90's and probably ever (that's right). Brad Pitt's performance is so memorable that it shows you he is underrated as an actor. You know, since his good looks where the main focus on him. And let's not forget Edward Norton, the man really makes Fight Club shine too. First rule of this movie... is to own it!

Fight Club= Best movie ever!
2009-12-28 - This is already my favorite movie. The 10th anniversary blu-ray has definitely hit the spot. The opening to the movie is hilarious... the graphics have been completely remastered for blu-ray. It is awesome. The "cigarette burns" throughout the movie are even more apparent, which is awesome. The only thing I had to complain about is that the extras aren't stellar. some of it is interesting, but I expected more from deleted scenes. Overall though, excellent. I wouldn't trade it for the world!

Just fantastic
2009-12-27 - An amazing movie in amazing Blu-ray quality...couldn't have asked for anything better. All my friends (and, I'll admit, myself) were blown away by the picture quality, not to mention the fact that this is a movie everyone should own.

I'am Jack's Complete Disbelief ..
2009-12-22 - I watched this movie 220 times now (plus or minus 2) ... and will watch for the rest of
life .. This is a Legendary Film .. Cult movie once in life time .
I have mild dissociative disorder .. so it appeals to me more...
I'am in total disbelief how this thought provoking movie made only a $35 mil in box office ..
We should all buy copy of DVD and donate it to friends to make this movie a success .
