Good movie despite some holes

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 1999)

American History X was one of the best movies of 1998 even with a few problems. Despite a stellar performance by Edward Norton, some of the acting was poor. Particularly Edward Furlong and Avery Brooks. The ending was a little over-dramatic although I did get the message. Under "The Thin Red Line" I would put American History X as the best of '98. Not many movies show as much courage as American History X to go out and tackle a real issue in a non-politically correct way. Review: Hillary Clinton will hate it but you'll like it-7.6(out of 10)
