A bloody and slick Vada Chennai where style precedes essence
. Kiruba makes Joseph take the fall. Upon release from prison, Joseph schemes and uses Selva and his friends for his revenge. The point director Abbas A. Rahmath tries to make is that the fight here is between two evil while the good are used as scapegoats. However, for this new breed of filmmakers, who are heavily influenced by Quintin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese, style precedes essence. Fight Club is more about the intoxicating frames that have hues of saturated colours. It is about the long single takes that build up tension. It is about the usage of brilliant Govind Vasantha music. It is less about social issues. That�s never the problem. The problem is when it pretends to actually care.(more)

Filmmaking flair trumps familiarity to make Fight Club engaging
The film also uses pop culture effectively, from Ilaiyaraaja's songs like En Jodi Maanja Kuruvi, which plays over the title credits, to the hero introduction scene, which unfolds in a theatre playing Thalapathy, another film about an underdog taking up a life of violence for his people. And what's a film named Fight Club without stunts? Like in Uriyadi, the stunts are raw and brutal, and are choreographed with such enthusiasm that they will make an action movie buff feel gleeful.(more)

A pure, high-octane action film with engaging drama.
The stunt blocks are the heart of the film. Vicky and Amrin Abubakker's action choreography stands tall amid all other aspects of the movie. The editing of Fight Club is its backbone which holds the film engaged. Editor Kripakaran deserves a big appreciation for his work. Govind Vasantha's original musical score and songs are kickass. His variations are stellar even when the old songs and tunes were reused. Leon Britto's camera work fuels the intensity of pivotal scenes. Technically, this film is a spectacular product. Fight Club offers an adrenaline-rushing action experience amid its minor flaws.(more)

This Vijay Kumar-starrer is all style and very little substance
Such a narrative style comes as both boon and bane to Fight Club. For starters, we�re bombarded with sub-plots and information right off the bat and it takes a while for us to settle down mentally and get a grasp of what�s happening. The fact that the cast is predominantly filled with new, unfamiliar faces initially makes it tougher to keep track of the unfolding events. But once the dust settles and we get a hang of the characters and their motives, it gets better... only for it to enter predictable territory.(more)

Vijay Kumar's film stereotypes North Chennai in cliched story
'Fight Club' could have been much more impactful had it given more importance to the screenplay as much as it had given the technical aspects.(more)
