REVIEWS

Review by Spencer (posted on 5-Oct-2005)

I saw this movie for the first time a few years back, and it was amazing. I can easily say that this is by far the greatest movie I've ever seen. Well thought out and great acting. Edward Norton is truely amazing in this movie. Despite the negative idea at first glance of skinheads and prison, it has a positive message through it and an all around great idea. Also recommend Fight Club -- another Edward movie.
