A bit brutal but hey-ho - it is KKK! - American History X review by CP Customer
I found the film disturbing for the first 1/2 hour and nearly switched it off - don't be put off! It improves and you really get drawn into the story.
Of course, like half the films I rent, it was on tele the next week.
