A Look Back At American History X (1998)



Tonight's movie stars Edward Norton and Edward Furlong and centers around a neo-Nazi movement in Los Angeles, California.
It's a gritty, and incredibly compelling movie.

Derek (played by Edward Norton) has just been released from prison only to find that his younger brother Danny (Edward Furlong) has been getting mixed up with the same white supremacist group that he was a part of before being locked up.

We also see, via flashbacks, the circumstances that lead to Derek's incarceration as well as his time in prison and how this has changed his perception of everything. Derek convinces Danny that he needs to change his ways, but it's too little too late.

Norton is especially good in the film, and it's arguably the best performance of his career to date.

I highly recommend this one.
4.5 out of 5
