over rated

Rating: Null/10 (5 January 2003)

I cant believe this film ranks so high on IMDB top 250!
Its just too easy, the director thought "racism = bad. Will get character who is racist (bad) and make him change his ways (good) it shall thus be labeled a "fantastic performance".
All the black characters are portrayed as Saints, who are hard done by. This is an insult to the intelligence of the audience. Are we really supposed to believe that someone who is so engrained with hate as Norton could change his whole out-look on society in 1 year, no I think not.
Other problems include an over dramatic ending, and just the way i could tell this film was designed to "push the right buttons" in just the same way as any bond film, or arnie flick.
An issue that needs to be examined with real intelligence, not by this film.
