American History X

Racism has been around for a long time. Although segregation is over and it is an equal opportunity nation, there are still some individuals that believe their race is better than others. In the opening scene of American History X, viewers learn that Derek, a leader of the neo-Nazi group, kills two men that attempt to steal his truck. It is later revealed that Derek not only shot the two men because of his truck, but because they were African American. When sent to prison, his younger brother, Danny, follows in Derek's shadow. After being released, Derek goes back home only to find that many things had changed. He is determined to change Danny's vision of the neo-Nazi group before it is too late...

It is a really good movie. There is never a dull scene throughout the film. This movie has a little bit of everything including drama, action, gore, and suspense.
