Ed Norton is phenomenal

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2001)

Though the film has a couple of very minor flaws, it remains an incredible experience because of the amazing performance of Norton. Not only is his physical transformation incredible, but he plays this character in several different stages and is 100 percent believable in all of them. He's truly one of the greatest actors working today, and this is one of his top performances. The film itself also does an excellent job of showing Norton's character, Vinyard, as much more than one-dimensional. Though at his worst Vinyard is quite repellent, there is reason shown for his transformation and his eventual redemption. This film is a thrilling, creepy, intense, emotional experience. Don't miss it.
