A heart-wrenching exercise in racism

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 1999)

A heart-wrenching exercise in racism, 'American History X' made me cringe...a lot. Edward Norton gives a performance that goes from chilling to grief-stricken and everywhere in between. A truly a gifted actor who can convey so much emotion with only his eyes, Norton makes the film. It's sometimes difficult to see and hear the kind of hate that this movie portrays however, I think sometimes it's a good idea to get some perspective on the world around us.
