Movie Description
Edward Norton gives an impassioned performance as Derek Vinyard, a Southern Californian skinhead who must do time after committing a hateful murder. Once in jail, his mind opens and he sees the error of his ways. Upon reentering the real world, he must now turn his attentions to his younger brother Danny, who is swiftly heading down the same path as his brother. Controversy surrounded the film when director Tony Kaye disowned it, claiming that Norton had the film re-edited without Kaye's permission. Norton still got an Oscar Nomination for his intense performance.

Editorial Reviews
"...An intense achievement....An excellent cast, the young leads stand out, including a best-yet performance from Furlong..." -- 4 out of 5 stars
Total Film - p.98 - James White (10/01/1999)

"...Edward Norton's Oscar-nominated performance is the film's magnetic centre..."
Sight and Sound - p.36-7 - Andrew O'Hehir (05/01/1999)

"AMERICAN HISTORY X is an explosive, scorched-earth drama in which Edward Norton gives a blistering, brilliant performance..."
Rolling Stone - p.121-2 - Peter Travers (11/12/1998)

"...Norton breaks loose....A triumph of acting....[Kaye] works with flair and verve and control..." -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly - pp.51-2 - Owen Gleiberman (11/06/1998)

"...AMERICAN HISTORY X has enough fiery acting and provocative bombast to make its impact felt....It has been directed with a mixture of handsome photo-realism and visceral punch..."
New York Times - p.E1 - Janet Maslin (10/28/1998)

"...Genuinely provocative....There's scarcely a false not to the performance of either Furlong or Norton, the latter an almost certain Academy Award nominee..."
Box Office - Wade Major (12/01/1998)

    I was really surprised to see Edward Norton playing such a sick and sadistic character. This movie I do believe while disturbing is closer to the truth than many of us realize.
    If you are looking to learn a little about racism this movie is a must see.
    I will however say that this is not a movie for children! There is definitely a maturity level needed here.

    Without giving away the plot of this movie, I will just say that I highly recommend it for anyone old or mature enough to watch an R-rated movie.

    No matter your views on neo-Nazism in America, this movie sheds light on the little known and controversial issue, and does it in such a way that is informative while creating captivating, heartwrenching drama at the same time. It pulls viewers into the "skinhead" point of view, and walks you through days in the life of young adult neo-Nazis in California - showcasing personal relationships, hard times with the families, fellow skinhead friends and parties. But the most important bond is that between on older brother, dedicated to his cause, and his younger brother, who strives to be like his role model, and pays the ultimate price for it.

    Although this movie is not based on a true story, the same radical racial hatred issues, problems, and outcomes happen on a regular basis among this sub-culture in the United States today. This movie will open your eyes. It will possibly enrage you. It may also make you cry. But if you have an open mind and are eager to learn about the lifestyles surrounding a highly controversial group of young people, please give this movie a try. If you have a problem with profanity, images of hatred acts or nudity, pass on by.
