This is one of the few instances where the movie outshines the book by a mile. Fincher serves up what may be the defining film of "Gen-X", with a sarcastic, dark and kinetic trip of a film. If this isn't on the Top 20 list of greatest movies 20 years from now, I'll be astounded. Cynicism, anarchy, disillusionment and black humor abound in a tale of a yuppie gone underground, with maybe a psychotic delusion? A biting statement of modern day commercialism and life. Norton, Pitt and Bonham Carter are all amazing and the direction and style are flawless. This one gains a permanent spot in my DVD player at least twice a year...
