This movie is really good! I wouldn'******* it if you are against racism (which I am, by the way, and it was hard to watch at sometimes), but it is a... moving, jolting movie. The acting was at times cardboard, but not a lot. That's the only reason why I gave it a 4. Full Review

This is the sort of incendiary role a lot of actors would kill for, yet the shock of Norton's performance isn't its showboat flamboyance. It's that he makes this sadistic junior sociopath rueful and intelligent.Full Review
