Worthy but bleak

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2000)

Edward Norton's performance makes this movie. He is certainly one of the finest screen actors of the moment. This tale of a young racist and how his life and family are affected by his actions is a powerful one.It is also relentlessly bleak in tone and not easy to watch at times.However,this is still worth one's time and effort to watch and, however you feel about the film's message,it is surely thought-provoking. Nice to see Mr Keach too. he has been woefully under used by Hollywood in recent years.
