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.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This is American self-absorption at its finest.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

rotten:
We're meant to take the male bonding and the blood rituals as a protest against the sterility of corporate life and modern design, but Fincher's sadomasochistic kicks overwhelm any possible social critique.
– David Denby,

rotten:
Fight Club is an arresting, eventually appalling excursion into social satire by way of punishing violence.
– Joe Morgenstern,

fresh:
Blistering, hallucinatory, often brilliant, the film by David Fincher is a combination punch of social satire and sociopathology.
– Carrie Rickey,
Philadelphia Inquirer,

fresh:
It is working American Beauty-Susan Faludi territory, that illiberal, impious, inarticulate fringe that threatens the smug American center with an anger that cannot explain itself, can act out its frustrations only in inexplicable violence.
– Richard Schickel,
