Compelling Story that is Hard to Watch at Times,

Rating: 8/10 (3 July 2014)

American History X is a brilliant movie with a very well developed storyline and a very talented cast.The movie is very compelling from start to finish as we follow Edward Norton's character,who starts off as a Nazi supporting racist,he was completely unlikeable,but there was always hope that he would change.The movie is definitely hard to watch at times,particularity the scenes in prison are very graphic and emotional,the movie is rated R for a reason,no parents should allow their kids to watch this.The only aspect of the movie that really bothered me was the transition from colour and black and white throughout the movie,I understood why they were doing it (black and white when he was in a dark place) but I didn't really appreciate it or thought it was necessary.American History X is a great movie that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good crime or drama.
A neo-Nazi begins to see the error of his ways in jail,only to find that his brother is following the same violent path.
Best Performance: Edward Norton Worst Performance: Elliot Gould
