On the whole the movie was powerful, it had a purpose and dealt with the issues. Too bad he didn't win an Oscar for this movie. It's so seldom that Hollywood actually gets it right. What a terrific movie from all perspectives. Great script, great acting and a better message.
Few movies have such an impact without totally dulling the entertainment factor.
This movie manages to keep the viewer enthralled and deliver a powerful and necessary message about blindly following misguided mentors. Ed Norton and Ed Furlong provide powerful performances in an unforgettable film. This one stays with you long after the credits roll. It made me rethink my prejudices and my lack of tolerance. I liked it, admired it, and I will also never watch it again.
