Edward Norton is an amazing actor. I mean how many guys can play a hardcore neo-nazi and then play Smoochie the Rhino and play them both so well?

I thought Pride and Glory was pretty solid. But other than that, after those 3 awesome flix, he has made some pretty mediocre stuff.

I think hes still good in the movies.......Probably hard to get motivated when you see so many crap movies coming out lately. I liked Pride and Glory as well. And I like 25 hour as well but it had alot to do with the gf man i love that chick

I've seen this movie countless times and I'm sure I'll see it countless more. If you like parts like the curb-stomping scene, check out another skinhead movie called "Pariah". Extreme violence that ranks up there with the Romper Stomper skins vs. Asians brawl. "American History X" looks like "Disney's Skinheads on Ice" in comparison. "American History X" is still a better overall movie, but "Pariah" is worth checking out.
