American History X (1998)Directed by Tony Kaye, rated R, 119 minutes
American History X is a powerful and desolate film about a neo-Nazi who, after getting out of jail for murdering two black men who tried to steal his car, returns home to stop his younger brother from following the wrong path he did. Edward Norton and Edward Furlong are incredible as the brothers, delivering sympathetic but utterly depressing performances. The story is emotionally involving and a profoundly realistic denouncement of racism.
American History X is compelling and graphic film that deliver its message in a moving yet haunting way. You'll like it if: You like movies about racism, 90's cinema, Edward norton, Do the Right Thing or This is England.

Edward Norton gives a fantastic performance. This one was hard to watch. Excellent.
