I was never interested in seeing this movie so i rented it for my husband and i was going to watch something on tv. I set it up for my husband to watch caught the first few minutes and couldnt take my eyes off of it. I have yet to see any other movie even come close to being this great. I have bought a total of 3 copies, we lost the first one in a move and the kids scratched the second I never want to not own a copy! In twenty years when my grankids want to watch a good movie i will say I got just the right one, and i would be willing to bet they say WOW what a movie!!!!

Considering the directing and budget of this movie, it is in my opinion one of the best ever made. This movie takes your emotions towards the characters of the film on a roller coaster, bringing you back and forth from many different perspectives of racism today. This film keeps you interested from beginning to end and does not seem to become boring after watching multiple times. Great film!

This movie rings so true in today's multi-cultural, diversified American nightmare. I am hispanic & feel as Norton's character does more often than not. It is frustrating to watch everything you hold dear being trounced by folks that have no respect and are only interested in making money & ramming their culture down your throat. America is disappearing rapidly into a balkanized nation with narcissistic inhabitants.

This was a really good truthfull movie. Every body thinks raseist about someone, at one point in there life. The skinhead in this movie was way to raseist. At the end of the movie he finds out that you can't be like that your whole life, hating every other race.
