Hey so killing innocent people doesn't happen alllll the time in America so do you think every movie that involves an innocent person being murdered a bit unrealistic?

Speaking of Ed Norton......The 25th Hour is an underrated movie IMO (A Spike Lee joint)....and Ed Norton has one of the greatest rants in the history of movies. Fuck it, one of the best rants PERIOD.

Anyone who likes Ed Norton should definitely check out Primal Fear, if you havent already. Imo, his best acting to date.

Yeah, Primal Fear is solid. American History X is still my favorite performance by Norton but opinions differ I suppose. I also liked him in Stone.

Performance and acting are different in my eyes. His toughest acting I think was Primal Fear and he nailed it. The Score was also tough, as he had to perfect a stutter. But that isnt as tough as a split personality. American History X is probably my favorite performance and role, but its not his best acting. At least not for me.

Understood. I've never watched the Score so I can't comment but he was definitely bad ass in Primal Fear.

Good movie. He and De Niro are working together to rob a museum I think (God i havent seen it in forever lol). He acts as a retarded man to gain trust and a job etc. So he has to learn to walk with a limp and talk with a stutter etc, etc. Good movie, but not great.

Only unrealistic part is Norton(5'10 white guy) reverse dunking and winning a game against a bunch of black dudes.
