    A film which reflects personal struggles of hate, misunderstanding, and change. Sometimes there we make mistakes or commit wrongs and injustices against others..Sometimes this is against people within another race. Its also common within one's own people group.. This movie shows one characters struggle with his personal beliefs...what he had been taught to believe and had learned from other misguided people within his own race and peer group. The character then ends up experiencing the truth of the world and path he chose to travel into.. and that his initial perception of what he had thought to be true may have been twisted and wrong. This is a very real example of change through struggle..and that everything we do has potential consequence.

    Great movie with some fantastic dialogue. I only gave it 4 stars because Edward Furlong is ATROCIOUS and unbelievable. This movie deals with a serious problem and it dares not press it too far lest (((they))) tighten the grip even more. The disappearing White working class is being replaced. There's nothing wrong with being angry about that and standing up for yourself. We get punched down on which is ironic because we are now the minority and the left used to champion minorities. lol. Stacy Keach is phenomenal as is Ed Norton when he's on the good guy team anyway. RIVETING and funny.

    Ed Norton delivers one of the best performances I've ever seen, it's as uncompromising as his character.

    Hard to watch, but you must watch it. Everybody should. Great movie with great acting

    Talking about basketball with a black dude made Ed Norton no longer racist. Hyper realistic flick.

    An incredible story of overcoming hate and prejudice. Life's too short to be filled with hate. Norton astonishes. Furlong stands out, too.

    Ed ward Norton is committed and completely dedicated to the role, to the point of being utterly convincing in his portrayal of hatred and bigotry. I personally believe this was one of his greatest roles.

    Powerful and sadly at least as relevant now as when it came out.

    There is NO film about Nazi ideology like this one. The rise of Edward Norton

    Decent but the friendship between the inmates didn’t sell me on Ed Norton changing his ways
