JONEZY Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Ed Norton was great in this flick. I thought he was even better in "Primal Fear". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEXzilla Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I felt he was great in it, but felt the transformation was a bit fast. Still stellar performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin White Duke Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) The other Edward was great in it too. Good story and very well made film. Love the black and white/colour game (not pun intended) and it has a couple of unforgettable scenes that have stayed in my mind since the first time I watched it.

Lithium Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Loved it since the first time I saw it. Ed Norton is spectacular in it - one of his best performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I saw it when I was still in college....so it's been a while....decent film, from what I remember of it. I'll probably watch it on Netflix sometime this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 This movie is the definition of why Edward Norton is a brilliant actor. So versatile in a lot of his roles. Great film. God, Fairuza Balk! She was in everything for a while.Lol yeah, she had an odd run for awhile. I have a soft spot for The Craft Neve Campbell, Fairuza, Robin Tunney at such a young age... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just recently watched the pilot episode of House on Netflix and wondered how Robin Tunney ended up in a fairly small role....in a pilot episode of a show (that at the time, no one knew would succeed)....just thought it was "beneath" her level, considering she was doing some pretty big movies a few years earlier.

She has a main role in a show called The Mentalist that i've never gotten around to actually watching, but it's gotten some good reviews. 6 seasons in.

Yeah, I "wiki'ed" her....she was also in the Zodiac...and some other fairly decent movies....strange that I don't remember her roles that much.

Guest Len B'stard Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 It's an OK film, Ed Nortons great in it but quite frankly the film has serious serious SERIOUS script problems. They had a major thing with re-writes and arguments with the director who apparently considered the final editing to be an ad infinitum process and quite frankly the shit shows on the film.Cuz, OK, this guys a racist to the point of getting a swastika tattooed on his chest and like, defining himself through this particular affiliation...so why did he suddenly switch on this shit, at the drop of a hat, his reasons for this massive about turn in his life is really like, outta nowhere and just poorly written. I mean he finds out they're selling drugs from the Mexicans to their own in prison and that turns him suddenly against the entire enterprise of white nationalism, just based on what some prison clique engage in? And oh yeah, a jive-talking black guy in a laundry room I mean he gets raped cuz of his aggression towards that particular group of prison psycho's...but how does that change all those deep seated beliefs suddenly? To the point of suddenly having a black mate right away, it's just seriously flimsy and poorly written...that bit is anyway, come to that a lot of the film is poorly written.And GOD if it isn't fuckin' preachy, it really does beat you over the head with it. Beverley D'Angelo was fucking awful in it too...in fact pretty much everyone was instead of Ed Norton and Ed Furlong...and even his screeching gets annoying after a while, Ethan Suplee just plays Ethan Suplee in every movie he's in. Good movie, enjoyable...but certainly not this great amazing piece a lot of people make it out to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one scene the director shows that his father was a racist too and fathers death made him a nazi and turned out to be that old nazi fart's (Cameron or who) left hand Edited May 20, 2014 by Crash Diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What because jailbirds are flimsy in their convictions then suddenly its all meaningless? It's not just me saying this shit, this thing was kinda laughed at critically when it came out, I'm not the first to point this shit out, particularly the bit about the script problems and how they resulted in a flimsy core to the plot. So basically, because prison Nazi's are crooked he did an about turn on his principles? How does that suddenly make it so his distaste for black people vanishes?

It has a weirdly potent sway over young white dudes, though. Don't understand why, don't want too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
