speechless

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 1999)

I wanted to see this movie from the moment I set eyes on the trailer. Regrettably I didn't get a chance to until now. This movie was absolutely fabulous. Ed Norton was completely amazing and Furlong was not far behind. Furlong has grown a lot as an actor and Norton continues to amaze me since the first time I saw him in Primal Fear. The message here is an obvious one, but it is played out so well. Some movies just entertain you, and others make you think as well. American History X is certainly the ladder of the two. The brutality of the film might be a little tough for some viewers to handle but, if you can get past it, it is well worth it. Some of these scenes are the most powerful ones I have ever seen. A definite must-see. No regrets here baby. 10 out of 10.
