Good film, but...

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2003)

It can be disturbing. Edward Norton and Edward Furlong play brothers in a film based on racial warfare in the big city. Norton's character plays the older brother who was sent to prison for brutally murdering two black men who were breaking into his vehicle (graphic violence in this scene) and while serving his sentence, realizes his wrongdoings, changes his ways, and then finds out his little brother (Furlong) is following his footsteps, tries to save him. The characters are well portrayed and the plot is scary, yet realistic. A good drama, may not be stomachable by some, great acting and a breakthrough good-guy performance by Norton. I'd give it a 9/10
