American History X - #39

IMDB Rating: 8.5

My Rating: 9.1

American History X was a movie I've been wanting to see for a while. I finally found a copy and was not disappointed. The film was very emotional and thought provoking.

Edward Norton gave a powerhouse performance and proved himself as one of the greatest actors alive today. He was able to portray a troubled teenager, a hardened criminal, and a caring brother flawlessly. Each of his roles were completely believable. The supporting cast was great too, but they couldn't compete with Norton for the spotlight.

There is brief nudity, some violence, and a lot of adult language. If you are easily offended, you may want to stay away from this film. That being said, I highly recommend this and would rank it in the top 10 movies of all time.
