In my opinion, this movie has everything. There is some great acting, some great directing and a great story. It entertains you but also makes you think at the same time, at least, in my case. In my opinion, it is hands down David Fincher's best movie and I think it is a great achievement. Yesterday, I watched it again after so many years and I enjoyed it even more. Indeed, back then, when it was released, it was actually a flop, above all thanks to the terrible marketing campaign which focused on the fighting. Of course, this movie is not about fighting, it is filled with many more ideas and I especially enjoyed how they focused on insanity. 10 years later, it remains David Fincher's most ambitious project, it is sometimes thrilling, funny but very very dark. All those elements are mixed together in an incredible visual style, something we have been used to get again and again from this director. Not everybody, like Roger Ebert for example, did like this movie actually. Some people thought it was too violent, some others thought it had a dubious message. I think that, in order to enjoy this movie, you have to understand that the main character is insane, so all the people following his orders are not really wise and his relationship with Helena Bonham-Carter is bound to be messed up as well. My point is that it is a messed up and chaotic movie but brilliantly directed and I really loved it. To conclude, in my opinion, it is one of the best movies ever made and it is a must see for any decent movie lover.
