American History X film review

The plot: When a former white racist gets out of jail he has to change his ways in order to save his younger brother from a similar fate. Basically it’s a tale of racism told in flash blacks as well as what is happening in the present day story.

The good: It’s quite strong, it’s a film about racism and is blunt about it.

The bad: Far from an action movie, not the happyest of endings.

Rating

Reviewed by Greg. I gave this movie a 7.8 out of 10.
