Powerful

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2002)

Edward Norton gives a powerhouse of a perfomance in this tense drama about race. Norton is a top member of a nazi gang who is sent to jail for three years for killing two black men tring to break into his house (one of the most powerfull moments shown in gripping black and white flashbacks). While in jail he befriends a black man, is raped in the shower and has his life comptly turned around by the time he is realeased. But upon arrival back home he sees that his little brother, played by Edward Furlong is going down that very same path and must save him before it is to late. Norton ignites the screen in his best performance to date. He gives ever line with power and emotion and Furlong is not far behind him. This film also contains one of the most powerful endings I have ever seen. It left me totally speechless. Although there sexual content is high and the profanity is never ending this movie will make you think twice about the society we live in. This movie is not for entertainment purposes and should be watched seriously so for anyone looking for a good thinkers movie this one is not to be missed.
