the guardians review of fight club is largely negative, saying that it changes the theme of the movie half way through from a "spiteful satire of our bogus contemporary crisis of masculinity" to a strident, shallow pretentious bore with a 'twist" ending that dose not work.
empire's review takes a similar view. while it is alot more positive in general, describing David Finchers film as "a molasses-black comedy shot through with his blistering, hyper-kinetic style, a score that punches you in the chest, and standout performances from Pitt and Norton."
it dose criticize the latter part of the film for not being well executed and describing the twist ending of being dug out of the bottom of a packet of cornflakes.
Do you think these are fair comments?
