Anyone seen this? I'm thinking of renting this. Just scene a couple of clips and looks to be a powerful movie. I heard there's a really horrible looking scene in it though involving some guy on the pavement? Do you think it is worth picking up?

Pick it up. I really enjoyed the film. It's quite brutal and graphic.

I think it is very much a film which you need to own. Its got its violent scenes but generally speaking, it is a great movie. It is a very powerful film. I very strongly recommend you get this film, it is a 'must own' in my mind.

I've seen other powerful movies like Boyz in the Hood. Would you say it's along those lines?

Unfortunately, I haven't seen that film so I can't comment on that. I should check out that film though, I have heard and read good things.

It's one of the most overrated films out there but still worth watching.

An amazing movie. Then again, just about every movie with Ed Norton is amazing.

Some of the dialogue in it sounds familiar to that BS e-mail that was posted a few days ago.

It's a great movie, I was impressed with how by the end you aren't cheering for any race or person, rather you are made to contemplate all the racial issues.

I wonder how the director wanted it...Edward Norton edited the movie heavily to showcase himself. It's OK, better than most of the tripe out there, but it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be.

Great movie, takes things seriously. Well, what do you expect? It's Edward Norton after all!
