My Experience

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2012)

I watched this movie trying to discard it as a "hollywoodized" version of Romper Stomper. I had seen bits and pieces of this movie on TV many years ago and thought it was interesting but didn't understand it as a whole. Having watched Romper Stomper a few days back and reading its reviews, I was reminded of American History X's predictable plot. So I decided to watch it yesterday and prove myself right.. I was in error! This movie blew me away! I was watching it for all the wrong reasons, trying to compare it to a movie (Romper Stomper) that was very different from this one and in a league of its own. I was very moved by the whole thing, especially Edward Norton's performance. I highly recommend this movie to anyone, any race, any gender.. it may just change your life.
