Awe-Inspiring And Serious Take To The Point. ♦ 83%

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2013)

Edward Norton thus becomes my favorite Hollywood actor. His performance, along with the whole cast's is one of the many feathers, American History X wears on its hat.
Rolled with excellent cinematography & music, it talks about the merits & demerits of racism in America, although it mirrors the plight of whole world. The intensity with which the plot id dealt is extremely appreciable. Good story, which takes the viewers directly into the point. Non-linear narration keeps the pace of the movie fine but it seems intensified towards the end and that shakes the whole film a bit.
A very good climax for the story told and in fact, a lesson is being taught. 8.3/10 for Norton, Tony Kaye & the theme.
BOTTOM LINE: Recommended due to its boldness & authenticity to real-life affairs.
