Reviews Featuring Edward Norton

Red Dragon
This is a fine creepy killer thriller, with Hannibal back to his best plus another outstanding killer on the loose.

The Hannibal Lecter Trilogy
This is an outstanding collection of three films featuring the iconic Dr Lecter. One of the best DVD buys on the market.

The Italian Job
A workmanlike heist flick with some funny lines and some good (if brief) chases, but it is ultimately hampered by comparing itself to the original, better 'The Italian Job'. Probably the best way to enjoy this film is to ignore its title, and to think of it as an entirely different film with occasional sequences that merely pay homage to Michael Caine's cockney masterpiece.

25th Hour
In the hands of another director it may well have come across as melodramatic or preachy, but under the Spikester it pretty much works. Give this one a go if you’re looking for something a bit different.

Fight Club
It’ll take a few viewings to get a real grip of what’s going on – but don’t beat yourself up over it. ‘Fight Club’ is definitely worth it.

Pride and Glory
If you can get through the lackluster first hour of this cop family gone wrong saga, you’ll be rewarded with a well-acted, suspenseful crime thriller.

The Incredible Hulk
Not bad if you’re looking for mindless but good-looking action with no real storyline.

American History X
This excellent analysis of White Supremacists in Los Angeles in a gripping story that entertains, teaches and avoids preaching.
