4/5 American History X

So i dont really see the point in doing this. I wanted the movie, I bought the movie, it came in the mail, and now I own it. It was pretty simple and basic. I reccommend the movie to anyone who has not seen it.

4/5 Disturbing Yet Very Powerful
  by D. Mikels (Skunk Holler)
Edward Norton is a fabulous actor, yet his portrayal as an angry, hate-filled skinhead in AMERICAN HISTORY X may be his best, most powerful performance. Norton so immerses himself in the role of a young man feeling disenfranchised from his culture and society that his racist rants take on a surreal logic all their own; one of the primary reasons this is such a disturbing film.

The interracial interaction and tension is as volatile as it is believable, making the first half of the film extremely uncomfortable to watch. Stacy Keach playing a cold, cunning, calculating mentor to the skinhead gang is extremely effective, and Edward Furlong is compelling as Norton's impressionable younger brother. The brothers come from a highly dysfunctional family, matriarched by a frightened, unstable mother (Beverly D'Angelo). Once Norton's character is sent to prison for gunning down two African Americans, AMERICAN HISTORY X takes a decided turn, as the protagonist experiences a reawakening--and a very ironic friendship.

Upon his release our main character has a much different outlook on life, yet cannot turn his younger brother away from years of indoctrinated hate, and the film moves relentlessly toward its hopelessly tragic (and horrific) conclusion. One does indeed reap what one sows--a powerful lesson to take from AMERICAN HISTORY X, a compelling, engrossing, yet disturbing film.

4/5 Great movie: decent blu ray
  by Timothy P. Huthsteiner (Alamogordo, NM USA)
Anyone considering buying this on blu ray already knows how great a movie it is. So I'll just say the video quality is decent but won't blow you away. With little in the way of bonus content, it is still a decent buy for the price. Buy this if you don't own the dvd, but consider holding off for a special edition if you already own it on dvd.
