Complex and Amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2014)

By complex I do not mean mindf***, I mean that it got a lot of layers of story and character.
The story of how Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) tries to get his younger brother Danny (Edward Furlong) out of the neo-Nazi life is multi-layered, intelligent and emotional. It kept me interested throughout the entirety of the runtime and it even made me a little heavy on emotions. Not only is the story great, the performances in the movie are phenomenal, especially Edward Norton. The guy should've won the Academy Award for Best Leading Actor back then. The dark and haunting score helps lift the atmosphere of the movie to new heights. And the way it is directed (cinematography and such) just adds to everything. The way they use grey scale for Flashbacks is something I just simply adore.
This movie is fantastic in every way possible. It is definitely one of my favorite movies and I highly recommend it.
DISCLAIMER: This movie isn't always easy to watch.
