Fight Club jettisons its sense of humour 60 minutes in, and, so far from satirising the tiresome "crisis of masculinity" stuff sloshing around the airwaves either side of the Atlantic, the film simply endorses it.

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.

This is American self-absorption at its finest.

Wildly inventive, exceptionally cast and undeniably controversial, there's an endless list of subtexts and viewpoints which will fuel student pub debates for years.

Technically gorgeous... But it's such a wreck of tone and intellect.

Oh, for the time when men were men and were encouraged to beat the tar out of one another. That's the world "Fight Club" pines for.

Blistering, hallucinatory, often brilliant, the film by David Fincher is a combination punch of social satire and sociopathology.

Fight Club may be iconic and technically proficient, but it's more distant than perhaps any film to attain "modern classic" status.

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.

A controversial satire and a contemporary classic.

Fight Club is an arresting, eventually appalling excursion into social satire by way of punishing violence.
