Stunning move with powerful message

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2002)

First things first - Edward Norton was superb in this, but so was Edward Furlong. The story is about hate, specifically racial. Problem is the outline of the story gives away too much, so I'll say this: Norton is a nazi-skinhead who despises 'foreigners' because they apparently leech off his country's government and cause American 'natives' to go without. Truth is he is just a racist who hates anyone who isn't a white christian. The movie is about how he justifies this existence and causes his own brother to follow the same path. Telling more would spoil it.
The story is brilliantly told without stereotyping different races - it shows how hate exists as a pre-meditated evil of society.
Excellent.
