American History X - WB 20 Film Collection Thrillers
- Commentary: I didn't think I'd seen this movie, then, when I watched it, parts of it came back to me. It's a message movie and I'm not really a fan of blatant message movies, but there is a lot else to enjoy with this movie besides the message. I would never have bought a single copy of it for myself but I'm not displeased that I own it. Edward Norton's performance is, as mostly usual (I'm thinking, off hand, of Primal Fear, Fight Club and even The Illusionist), a glory to watch.
Edward Furlong as the younger, suseptible brother to Edward Norton's character is spot on, as well. Watching this movie, now, causes me a bit of sorrow that his career didn't continue long and strong. Oh well, you never know what the future might bring.
