As an investment, Fight Club is the film that keeps on giving. No other film comes close to the joy of watching a film for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time and getting more out of the film each time. What sort of crazy journey does a man have to take in order to find his soul mate? The beauty of Fight Club is that, in-between all the macho posturing, brutality and extreme violence there is a wonderful story of self-discovery and true (if mental) love. Unjustly derided and abused on its release and a flop at the cinema, this film never got the accolades it was due during its cinema release, but like all great films, has proved a star performer on DVD and is set to take off on Blu Ray. David Fincher is one of the greatest of the modern directors and, unlike many of his contemporary peers (Michael Bay take note), uses special effects sparingly and to great effect. Just watch the extras on the extended edition DVD for revelations on the detail that went into even the briefest moments. The extended and 2 disc versions are overloaded with extras and the Blu Ray looks to add further features to this already packed list.
Brad Pitt again proves he is one of the most underrated character actors alive today and shows he can give a much more believable unstable performance than that of his 12 Monkeys role. Edward Norton, in a career defining role, is a revelation as the narrator of the story and main protagonist. He shows that the promise shown in American History X the previous year wasn't just a one off. However, Helena Bonham Carter steals the show from such a Man's movie by being as screwed up and frankly bonkers as the rest of the cast put together. Marla Singer is many things, but a typical love interest she is not. If you want more to recommend this film try Meat Loaf, with massive (fake) man-boobs, acting his heart out.
Fight Club is arguably one of The greatest movies ever made, certainly the best film ever to come out of the 90's, even more so than Pulp Fiction, and a must see for anyone who is interested in collecting a masterpiece of modern filmmaking.
A fantastic film, with a fab script that will keep you gripped right up to the end frame. A cult classic in a classs of its own...
Already own Fight club on DVD but when I saw it was being released for Blu Ray i knew i had to buy it. The film is simply a must see, its top 10 movies of all time standard. As for the actual Blu Ray disk itself, the quality is very good, the film looks stunning. Overall, if youve never seen Fight Club you owe it to yourself to watch it, if you have you should watch it in HD as it looks incredible.
Fight Club was MADE for Blu ray!! What a job they've done on this transfer!! It is brilliant and the picture and sound is so good, you'll be amazed by it!!
This is still a classic movie, even though it bombed at the Cinema. This is now a DVD cult classic!! Brad Pitt and Edward Norton give a knock out performance and you can experience and appriciate it more in HD!!
The disc is crammed with extras with an Innovative Navigation: Access to everything anytime. The commentary is always great to listen to aswell.
If you already have this on DVD, get rid of it and upgrade it to Blu ray... You WON'T be disappointed!!
I remember seeing this film in the cinema when it was first released, and being completely mesmerized by its power, messages and uprooting of the sorry system which we live in. The performances from Pitt, Norton, Bonham Carter and a surprising Meat Loaf are sensational, too. A true anarchic classic that needs to be seen to be admired.
