Fight Club

 (1999)

Action | Drama | Thriller



The mundane existence of a product liability evaluator and insomniac, who is addicted to self- help groups, is turned upside down when he meets a sado-masochistic anarchist who is secretly plotting to overthrow civilization. As their friendship grows, they become increasingly involved in a secret society of "fight clubs" where men act out their aggressions and violently beat one another to a pulp. In the meantime, the evaluator falls in love with a woman who is also addicted to self-help groups, but is unable to act on his desire for her.

Starring: Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter
Director: David Fincher


Fight Club Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


Fight Club has always had a distinct visual style, a dirty, bruised and beaten aesthetic, at once slick as wet blood and coarse as sandpaper. Those that like their high definition movies bright and clean—with artificial sharpening and all traces of grain digitally scrubbed to oblivion— won’t know what to make of this release, with its dingy color scheme and obviously filmic look. But fans who like to see a director’s intentions honored will be knocked silly by this fantastic 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer, which proves to be an appreciable upgrade from prior DVD releases, especially when it comes to overall clarity and color depth. There are still a few soft shots—see Marla’s confrontation with Jack at the cancer support group—but taken as a whole, Fight Club is sharp and defined. Close-ups display fine facial textures—particularly brutal when you’re looking at Jared Leto’s pulverized face—and longer shots are nicely resolved, allowing heretofore unseen detail. While truly bright, vivid colors are in the minority here—there are exceptions like Marla’s blue shirt—the desaturated palette is filled with the greenish pallor of fluorescent lights, bronzed skin tones, and grimy, industrial grays. The colors, even if they’re not “eye-popping,” seem more weighty and intense this time around. Likewise, black levels are dense and deep, prompting a bit of intentional crush here and there, but generally giving the image a satisfying sense of presence. Contrast, as always, is slightly heightened and, at times, purposefully lurid. And grain is apparent throughout, in varying levels, giving the film an appropriately gritty patina. Aside from some minor contrast wavering in two or three scenes, I didn’t detect any overt issues—no banding, blocking, haloing, jaggies, or artifacts. Whether or not the visual upgrade here warrants repurchasing the film on Blu-ray will depend on your own tastes and budget, but this is certainly the best Fight Club has ever and perhaps will ever look on home video.


Fight Club Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


Rounding out the A/V package is an absolutely pulverizing DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track that will kick your home theater’s ass and take its name. There are several demo-worthy showpieces here. Listen as Jack imagines a violent mid-air collision between two planes; steel rips through steel, sending shrapnel flying through the speakers with pin-point precision as wind whips terrifyingly through the rear channels. Or replay the scene when Tyler lets go of the steering wheel and allows the car to crash; metal twists and tears wrenchingly, screeching and grating from front to back as the car barrels towards the audience. And yet, these big audio moments are just the cherries on a sonic sundae. The sound design throughout the film is consistently engaging and immersive, delivering ear-shattering blows when called for and bringing quieter scenes to life with subtle, place-establishing ambience. Take, for instance, one of the cancer support group scenes. Pick out all the individual sounds. You’ll hear the speaker drone through a microphone, her voice reverberating appropriately. You’ll hear the members shift and shuffle quietly in their pews. Somewhere, in a distant room, children are running and playing. Outside, an ambulance passes by, the Doppler effect of its siren a grim portent. And this is just one example; nearly every scene is built upon a lively and convincing soundfield. While Edward Norton’s voiceovers seem a bit quiet at times, dialogue is easily understood and reflects the acoustic qualities of the surroundings. Finally, if the big audio moments are the cherries on this sundae, the electronic score by The Dust Brothers is the chocolate sauce. The trip-hop spookiness and big beats sound a bit dated now, but the music is still bold and effective. I really can’t drum up any complaints about this track; it’s loud, aggressive, full-bodied, and thoroughly impressive.
