Almost indescribable - but it was outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2001)

It must've been ages since I first saw American History X, but it has taken me this long to write a review as I couldn't find the right words to describe how much I liked this film. It is truly captivating, moving and thought-provoking to say the least. But above all, the acting (especially that of Edward Norton) and the types of characters played were outstanding. The ending was absolutely brilliant. Very few films have ever had such an impact on me so this one has definitely hit the top of my list.
