Not Fincher's best work, but still very enjoyable!


I give it a 7.5/10.

Thanks !

How do you rank Fincher's other works? Especially Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac and The Social Network.

reply

My ranking best to worst:

1. Fight Club
2. The Social Network
3. Gone Girl
4. Seven
5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
6. Zodiac
7. The Killer
8. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
9. The Game
10. Panic Room
11. Mank
12. Alien 3

Honestly enjoyed all his films besides Mank and Alien 3

Ok, thanks!

This is a nice rundown of his movies. I haven't actually seen Social Network, though.

reply

I'm surprise you didn't throw Mindhunter into the mix since he's the Executive Producer, fits the genre and he's directed several episodes.

reply

Awesome to hear, thanks!

Sounds like it’s the worst of Fincher’s best genre - the killer thriller.

I’m looking forward to seeing it, but it’s depressing that Fincher is one of the few directors whose work I get remotely exited about. Scorsese is another but he’s likely to croak any minute.

Ari Aster was until a I saw Beau Is Afraid, eww. Spielberg was incredible until he started going political, now his films are dull propaganda. Cameron is obsessed with Avaturd 🙄

With Tarantino retiring the outlook is depressingly bleak.

What about more recent indie directors such as Sean Baker and the Safdie brothers? For me, those guys are by far, the most interesting filmmakers working at the moment.

reply

I rated it a 9/10. I would likely rank it seventh out of his 12 feature films.

reply

It's well done but unoriginal.

reply

It’s his best since Gone Girl. I would rank:

1. The Social Network
2. Zodiac
3. Se7en
4. Fight Club
5. Gone Girl
6. The Killer
7. Curious Case of Benjamin Button
8. The Game
9. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
10. Alien 3
11. Mank
12. Panic Room
