Powerful, innovative, and thought provoking

Rating: Null/10 (1 December 1998)

When I went to see this move last night, I was unsure of what to expect. This turned out to be the most powerful and intriguing movie of the year. While bitterly graphic, this film provokes thought in even the most hardened film viewer. The acting is phenomenal - Edward Norton well deserves the Oscar. Another amazing performance in this film is by the often underrated Beverly D'Angelo. Her role as Doris is unforgettable and I hope she isn't overlooked for a Supporting Actress Oscar nomination. Stacy Keach and Edward Furlong both perform with an acting quality that is rare in today's films. This is surely a "must-see" film that provokes discussion and interpretation in nearly everyone who is touched by it.
