A beautiful film with a powerful message behind it

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2007)

I remember I saw this on the history channel once. I have to say it was great. This film kept me interested the whole time that i couldn't even leave for th bathroom (exept for commercials). Edward Norton did a great job playing Derek Vinyard, a neo-nazi skinhead preventing his brother going down the wrong path he did. The acting is just perfect when characters express their emotions through rage, humor and depression. Many people say the message of this film is that racism is bad, but there is more to it. The message being (from my point of view) is that many of us are role models for other people or some us have role models and it's the role models' responsibility to be a good one. In this case, Derek was a bad one and Danny followed down in his footsteps. So if you are interested in good acting, powerful messages getting across to you, i recommend this movie.
