Impressive

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2002)

This is a very impressive movie. I think it gives a fairly realistic view into the world and ideas of "white power" and neo-nazism, although it's true that you could also get that view from watching a documentary on the Discovery Channel. However, this movie also succeeds very well at showing how nonsensical and futile those ideas are, and makes a very strong statement against racism.
Furthermore, the acting in this movie is really top-class, and the movie is shot in a way that makes everything look very realistic, right down to the blood and gore. Also, this movie has a remarkable ending compared to most Hollywood movies that always have an extremely happy end.

The only complaint I have about this movie is that Edward Norton's character's move away from neo-nazism while he was in prison happened a bit too sudden: no real insight into his motives way given. This is a minor complaint however, which doesn't stop me from giving this movie ***1/2 out of **** stars
