From the Paper:

"Fight Club directed by David Fincher is an interesting combination of themes and styles that often conflict. It is political, philosophical, an action film, a drama, a comedy and social satire all at the same time. The fact that the film is so many things at once is a direct result of the contradictory lives of the main characters; Jack a cynical lower management workaholic looking for a way to fix his life, Marla an impoverished woman surviving through a combination of theft and deception and Tyler Dirden a small time urban guerrilla who is fighting the established system in innumerable small ways."
