This is probably my favorite Ed Norton movie. I really like it when the political mixes with the entertaining and everything comes out good. This is a great movie about redemption of the highest kind. |

Mundane ideology that dismisses everything that's not completely liberal. Not to mention that the directing is horrid. Many movies deal with this subject matter in a more intelligent and meaningful way. |

Powerful and gripping film that stays intense! |

Probably one of the most powerful films I have ever seen, with a subject matter that is so delicate and easily could have been mishandled – this film delivers a performance of a lifetime from Edward Norton and a superb story shaping the influences around him.
The film is told in two tales; one in black and white, conveying the wrongful doings of Derek Vinyard (Norton) and about how his racial crusades slowly infiltrate the mind of his little brother. After a brutal racially motivated murder of three individuals for breaking into his car, Derek is sent to jail where he soon learns the errors of his ways and comes to realise the pain and suffering he has caused.
The second story told in color, runs parallel to that of the past of Derek. This story focuses more on Danny Vinyard, and about ... |

It is a powerhouse performance by Edward Norton that drives this compelling drama to a whole new height. Mr. Norton plays “Derek” a Nazi skinhead ex-convict who tries to prevent his younger brother “Danny”, played astutely by Edward Furlong, from going down the same path.
The movie is narrated by both these protagonists as plots and sub-plots get unfolded smoothly. The plot is relatively simple but it’s the natural ease with which all actors play their parts that ignites the story. Mr.Norton is absolutely convincing as the angry young man, furious at his social system and in the process gets caught up in his own ideologies.Scowling and scoffing at anyone who is non-white, Mr. Norton delivers a performance worthy of his Oscar nomination; a perfect foil to the timid “Narrator” of Fight ... |

A lot of people can't take this movie because of its violence and the subject matter. However, Edward Norton's performance is stellar. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone wanting 1) something great to watch 2) good actors 3) challenging subject matter. |
