This movie looks at racism through the eyes of two brothers, Derek (Norton) and Danny (Furlong) Vinyard. After their father’s death, Derek becomes involved with and then a leader of a local skinhead group. He is sent to jail after killing two blacks that tried to steal his truck (one murder is quite gruesome). You watch as Derek’s perspectives slowly change as he spends time in prison and how he tries to change things upon his release.

Will someone please explain to me how Ed Norton did not win the Best Actor Academy Award that year? The range of emotions he pulled off was incredible; I loved the look of pure evil/pride on his face when he was arrested.

Another nice touch was how they chose to use colors; flashbacks were done in Black & W, current reality was done in color.

Some people will complain that this movie is too violent; a G/PG rated movie simply wouldn't get the message across.

Every teenager should have to watch this movie prior to attending High School. An extremely powerful message delivered by a strong script and some very fine actors.
