Edward Norton

Rating: Null/10 (25 September 1999)

This film has one of the best performances ever with Edward Norton portraying Derek Vinyard. It's a shame he didn't get Best Actor. Eddie Furlong also shows how much he's matured since T2, tackling the very difficult role of the younger Vinyard brother. My problem with the film, though, is that the ending didn't really hing on the plot of the movie. What happened happened partly because of the nature of the characters and their feelings, but really occured more because of a seperate incident that really didn't have to do much with the general message of the movie. I'm doing my best here to explain my feelings without ruining the movie, but I don't think I'm doing very well in my reasoning. Maybe you know what I'm talking about, maybe you don't, but in my opinion, the ending was set in the wrong place. I didn't think it had much, if anything to do with the point of the movie and the basic plot of a movie, but a mere incident, a sidenote even, that occured earlier. Just my opinion, though.
