Edward Norton gives a magnificent performance.

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1998)

'American History X' dares to brutality explore a subject which is not often shown as graphic in film today. Racism. First-time director, Tony Kaye, could not have picked anyone better to steer this film than Edward Norton. Norton's magnificent performance leaves viewers gasping for a breath of something new. This film is definitely award bound all across the table.
