Possibly the Best Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2011)

American History X is possibly one of the best movies I have ever seen. I never seen a movie such as this. I heard all the good things about this film so it amazes me how I never got around to watching it. It was one of those films that made me wish it would never end even though is was about two hours long.
This is about how a racist guy was sent to prison for a hate murder. When he is released three years later, he must stop his younger brother from following in his footsteps.
The acting is amazing. It's beyond me how Edward Norton did not win the Academy Award. Edward Furlong is great as the younger brother. In fact, the whole cast is excellent.
The only thing that may turn people away from this movie is the use of excessive racist terms. I thought it worked out for this kind of movie. I did not mind the language.
Overall, this is a very good, well-acted drama. There's even a few surprises mixed in. I rate this film a 10/10.
