Truly amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2000)

When I sat down to see this film I was apprehensive because I had heard that it was very violent and that's not usually my sort of thing. I decided to watch it though as it had been given such good reviews and I already knew what a fantastic actor Edward Norton was. This film is one that I think makes and impact whether you love it or hate it. I thought it was terrific and Norton's oscar nomination for his role as modern day Nazi Derek Vinyard was truly deserved. This film tells the story of how Derek came to reform while spending time in prison for the murders of two black men who were trying to steal his car. Derek, just released, realises that his younger brother Danny is headed down the same path and tries to stop him before he gets into trouble. Edward Furlong also gives a good performance as impressionable Danny. Well worth watching.
