Starring: Edward Norton, Edward Furlong, Faruza Balk, Beverly D'Angelo
Running Time: 2h 20min
A hard hitting, devastating, emotionally wrenching piece of art. Tony Kaye disowned this film over disputes about its ending and editing, which usually makes sense in the event of a poor unrealized film. However, this is not the case. This film is extremely powerful in performance and direction. The use of black and white, effectively trimmed cutting and narration both fictional and documentary style all amount to a masterpiece of film. Norton's performance is exquisite, subtle to explosive in a blink of an eye. Kaye's advertising background shows as he trims the fat and leaves us with a lean, mean, raw and edgy look at the changing of one Neo-Nazi and the danger that the life brings his family. A must see.
