    Eye Opening and Explosive

    Pros: Ed Norton is a very good actor in this role.

    Cons: None

    This is a very interesting movie about racism and the effects it has on the individual and family. This is not your typical hate movie. This movie reveals some truths about the interpersonal dynamics involved even within hate groups themselves. The... fascinating part is the revelation Ed Norton's character has once this truth is revealed and how he ventures out to change the damage he made to his younger brother. Very good movie and objective in its portrayal of real life situations. Check it for yourself. You'll be surprised. Read more Less

    Pros: The story line

    Cons: The grafic fights

    This Movie is not for everyone! It was a little hard for me to even stomach. But all in all it had a very good story line to it. It really makes you think. But I will have to warn you.... if your not into viloence, DO NOT watch this movie. If you thi...nk you can handle it there is one part in the movie that even turns most men's stomach's. When you hear the main character say "BITE THE CURB"... if you don't have an iron clad stomach, TURN YOUR HEAD!!! It shows the whole thing and it is not a pretty sight. But the movie (for me) was a learning experience! Read more Less
