A substantial courtroom drama, "Primal Fear" thoroughly breaks down aspects of mental illness and the legal process, and ultimately ends on an epic twist.

Entertaining characters and dialogue populate this streamlined courtroom thriller. It takes many interesting turns. I could foresee the inevitable final twist from the beginning, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable. The sinister revelation wouldn't have worked without Norton's superbly layered performance.

It's a crime that Edward Norton didn't win an Oscar for his two-faced portrayal that absolutely makes this film more than an otherwise standard legal thriller. The much talked about twist at the end never would have worked without Norton's nuanced and convincing supporting character. Sticks with you for a long time afterward.

Who manipulates the manipulators? Ed Norton breaks out on the scene with great intensity, showing why he's one of my favorite actors. Plenty of twists and a great ending make this a personal favorite of mine.
