Rent this movie tonight!

Rating: Null/10 (3 May 2002)

American History X is one of my all-time favorite movies. It contains some of the most powerful scenes I've ever seen in a movie. Beverly D'Angelo, Ed Furlong and Elliot Gould give outstanding performances, but this movie belongs to Ed Norton. His performance in this movie is mesmerizing and I agree with previous posters that he was robbed of an Oscar. His physical transformation to play Derek Vineyard ranks up there with Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull. In fact, throw in Primal Fear and Fight Club and you have the best stretch of acting since DeNiro did Godfather II, Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter and Raging Bull. I give this movie a rating of 10/10. Rent it tonight - you won't be disappointed.
