American Neo-Nazi gets a wake-up call, 7 November 2001
Author:

Edward Norton plays Derek Vinyard, a violent but also intelligent neo-nazi.
After killing two black people who tried to break his car, Derek is sent
down for a couple of years. Meanwhile, his younger brother Danny (Edward
Furlong) is busy following in his brother's footsteps. After certain
incidents in prison gives him time to thing, Derek decides to reform on his
way out. Once out, he realises how quickly in number his old gang of nazi
thugs has grown and wonders if he can save his brother.
This is a brilliant film. Perhaps what disturbs me the most is the way that
Edward Norton looks so brutal, yet sounds so intellectual throughout the
film.
Although the film contains a constant strong theme of violence, it is
always
justified in portraying a picture of racial tension. Neither black nor
white
people are "judged" in the film, it's primary focus being to outline that
it's peoples brutality that causes a racial divide, not either race in
general.
