Watched it over the weekend, I would give it an 8/10, definitely a good flick.

So was a Monday night, nothing on TV, and saw American History X was on at 9. Watched it for what has got to be at least the 15th time. Which for me is a definite record, I tend to only watch movies I really like 3 times maximum. Just never been one to re-watch movies over and over, as my belief is there is always a new movie to be seen, so why watch what I have alreadt seen. So the fact I have seen a movie over 10 times really is pretty remarkable for my own personal viewing habits.

Seriously is in my personal Top 20 Favorite Movies of all time. Just a powerful movie all around. Truly makes one uncomfortable at times, I mean really uncomfortable. Still hands down the performance of Edward Nortons career. Like no questions about it, the best acting he has ever done, and I happen to think he is a pretty damn good actor. But he is truly remarkable in this movie, I am sure there are plenty of people who hate him in real life as he did such a convincing job.

The movie is not without it's flaws either. Some of the racial stereotypes are truly over the top to the point they are pretty much offensive. But even with that said, that fact somehow does not affect how good of a movie it is overall.

9.75 / 10

Totally agree! His best performance to date. This movie made him one of my all-time favorite actors.

      I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
