Most rape is bad
Thought this was a great time. I'm not smart enough to know all the ins-and-outs of this, but I get the feeling the Netflix deal specifically allowed Fincher to make something he wanted to make. Any funnier or more overt, and the subtly would be lost. Anything cooler and less blocky (i.e., less on-and-on-and-on narration) and he runs the risk of another Fight Club, where the self-critical satire is lost for some people. There's juuuust enough of the main character's cool-guy bullshit to make it worth it when it whip-lashes every now and then to expose that he's a dope.

Feels like a movie that specifically wants to be annoying for just about anyone except someone who really likes Fincher and wants to see what he does without a boss.
