Heart wrenching, the least

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 1998)

Down here in Asia, Cinematic Artforms are regularly being diluted and I regret saying that I had the opportunity to watch this film from an "illegal" source. I am still wondering whether this modern day introspect of human violence and neo-Nazism will ever make it to Local cinemas, just like the many-a-great films that were banned and/or suffered under the unkind treatment dished out by the Board of Censors.
Ed Norton was very believable in the portrayal of a ultra-violent Neo-Nazi - turned savior of his family but how many of these characters in real (and not reel) life can we actually claim are successful after going through numerous correctional/penitentiary facilities? Edward Furlong on the other hand reprises his brooding nature (a young James Dean?) and can very well beat the other ex-child star (Leo in "What's eating Gilbert Grape").
In all, a tragic ending that leaves audience brooding.
