Powerful, yet flawed.

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 1999)

This film has some of the best and most powerful acting I have seen in a long time. Edward Norton is astounding, and just when you thought Edward Furlong had disappeared into obscurity, here he is, a fine young actor. The film is flawed, however. I find some parts a little hard to swallow, but these are minor gripes when there is so much here which is amazing. I think the black and white/colour thing is a little obvious, cliched and even a little pretensious, but when the film is over, the impact is such that you just don't care, and the overall result is a staggering film.
