Could watch over and over...

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2011)

I want to start this review off by addressing a common point that negative reviews about this movie TRIED to make. Many say "why are the black characters so unlikeable"...and "why are the white characters actions so forgivable, etc etc." Did you people even WATCH the movie? Seriously, did we go to the fridge for refreshments during all the parts containing the black guy Norton does laundry with in prison? Or how about all the parts containing the "Doctor" (the principal of the high school)? Did we ignore those parts? Maybe i'm mistaken, but they seemed like pretty likable characters to me. The rest of the black characters SERVE THEIR PURPOSE. Most of them are gang-members, you're not SUPPOSED to like them. And how about half of the "skinheads"? Seemed like pretty UNlikeable characters to me. A lot of them also seemed to perform some actions that weren't all that forgivable to me.
Anyway, GREAT movie. Story line is endlessly intriguing. GREAT acting/actors. Just....great....that's all I can really come up with.
