The fact this is based on a true story makes it that much better! Honestly when i was watching this it wasn't very gripping nothing really happened for a long time then it gradually picks up pace.. Jamie Bell is amazing in it. In terms of white supremacy films it's no American History X and it definitley isn't anything compared to Imperium.

Made me want to smoke cigarettes and drink beer. Made me happy I chose to let a few tattoo ideas simmer before going through with them. Made me tear up a couple of times--the courthouse wedding scene was beautiful, guys. I'm glad I watched it. It's a bleak story, that's for sure. And it's a poignant reminder that most fringe groups will stick to their ideological beliefs like a security blanket, but that also the occasional member can have a change of heart.

It may sound odd, but I can't talk about this film without talking about JOKER. The thing that most frustrated me about the backlash to that film was how it ignored Phillips's diagnosis of a problem. Senseless violence, the film implicitly argues, is being driven in part by society neglecting young men from troubled and abusive backgrounds, devoid of purpose and susceptible to mental illness. Here we have what happens when a young man from a troubled and abusive background is devoid of purpose. He gets picked up by psychopathic predators who train him to become a violent white supremacist. And the journey to how he got there was the key to understanding him enough to get him out. The biggest takeaway for me here is how violent and radical movements prey on vulnerable people from troubled backgrounds. This film is willing to sit down and look that dangerous movement, and these dangerous people, straight in the face and not blink. And most importantly, it does that long enough to understand Bryon. Condemn him too, sure, but know what drove him there in the first place, too. That honesty goes a long way. It extends to his leaving, too, how enormously difficult it was between saying he was leaving and actually getting out. A really powerful story from start to finish and phenomenally acted by Jamie Bell. Props also to Vera Farmiga, one of the most underrated actresses in the business. Empathy. Prayer. Community. If we don't reach out to these wandering, suffering souls, the monsters will. And they're good at it.

I thought this film was incredible, a true story of living with the consequences of your actions but also with the hope that there is still time to change. Jamie Bell was phenomenal and has shot up in my estimations after seeing this. This film can help change mentalities. The action rarely stopped and when it did I was sucked into seeing the differences of some people actually live within this world and make these decisions believing they are doing good in the world. My hat goes off to the director, cast and crew.

Bravura performances ! Oscar worthy movie Don't listen to those that say waste or time or cringe ! People like that are basic and usually can't pay to go see a movie

Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Based on a true story. By far Jamie Bell's best work. Danielle Macdonald, Vera Fermiga, and Little Colbi Gannett all shined.
