best film of 1998

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 1998)

An amazing depiction of a racist skinhead's transformation to a non-racist after a jail sentence. Edward Norton is brilliant, the direction is strong, and for once, it's a fairly accurate portrayal of skins (the racist ones, anyway). Thankfully, it avoids the silly stereotypes that previous skinhead films like Romper Stomper and Skinheads: The second coming of Hate resorted to and I'd say this is unquestionably the best film of 1998. Everything about this film was right on. My brother and I left the theater speechless and in awe.
