Powerful and evocative

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2004)

Edward Norton delivers a career defining performance as the neo-nazi frontman, Derek Vinyard. This film is outstanding from start to finish. The acting is truly remarkable. First rate performances from the whole cast instigate a real sense of feeling and empathy for the characters (even those with extreme views!).
The plot is gripping and thought provoking. The moral and racial issues raised in this powerful drama are evocative and at times controversial. The movie toils with your emotions at every turn, with feelings and opinions flipping from one extreme to another. A powerful and emotional masterpiece.
9/10
