Edward Norton = Drama's new ambassador

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2008)

As a big Ed Norton fan i decided to view this movie with really high expectations, hoping that it came close to his magnificent performance in Primal Fear. After watching it all i can see is WOW. His performance is truly captivating and is one that really tightens the chest threatening to bring on the tears.
Derek Vinyard is man influenced by those around him being raised to descriminate. When he is sent to prison for the murder of three African American's he encounters friendship, betrayal, as well as an understanding of how life isn't about hate. His journey through prison as well as a shocking conclusion adds to the brilliance of this emotional film. along with Ed Nortan's flawless performance, Edward Furlong provides one of his greatest as Derek's brother and soon to be heir to his racial throne. Recommended to anyone with a love for the drama genre. TO THUMBS WAY UP!
