Together with 'There's something about Mary' the best movie of 1998

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2000)

American History X is one of the most grose and strongest movies I have ever seen in my life. It's hard to explain the movie, but it's very memorable and tough to swallow. Norton is doing a perfect performance as the racist who kills two people while they're trying to steal his car. While doing three years in prison, his thoughts are changed and he comes home to find his younger brother (Furlong) seeing Norton's older self as an idol.
Go see this movie! I have never been so shocked by a movie since Kubrick's CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
See the Maltin-summary to get the clear point of view.
