Film 34 "American History X" IMDS No. 40

I'm the most dangerous man in this prison. You know why? 'Cause I control the underwear.


1998 Tony Kaye
Derek Vinyard is a former neo-nazi skinhead released from prison in Los Angeles after serving time for killing 2 black guys that tried to steal his truck. Prison changed his racist views and we get flashbacks to his prison time throughout the film as he tries to stop his younger brother Danny heading down the same path as he did in his youth.
There's a lot of violence and it doesn't give the subject too much of the Hollywood treatment, it's pretty true to the tale and much of what goes on keeps it's edge.
I think this is one to watch again.
Easy 8/10
