    Synopsis

    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.

      San Francisco Chronicle

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

      Portland Oregonian

      Fight Club -- cue the blurb machine -- is a knockout.

      The New York Times

      The sardonic, testosterone-fueled science fiction of Fight Club touches a raw nerve.

      Miami Herald

      As a piece of storytelling, Fight Club is a bit of a dud: It's a good 15 minutes too long, and the tension doesn't build the way you wish it would.

      Washington Post

      A provocative experience that lights you up even as it brutalizes you. And I don't even like Brad Pitt very much.

      Baltimore Sun

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

      USA Today

      It's fun to talk about...but the price you pay is enduring its excesses and pummeled-home thematic points.

      Chicago Reader

      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.
