A hardcore US racist skinhead who, because of his intelligence, leads a gang dedicated to fighting the enemy: the supposed American-Jewish conspiracy for domination. However, he's hiding a secret: he's Jewish-born, a brilliant scholar whose questioning of the tenets of his faith has left him angry and confused, turning against those who he thinks have a tragic history of their own making.

My quick rating - 7,0/10. Very powerful and thought provoking flick about a white supremacist who just so happens to be a brilliant scholar as well. Oh, and also Jewish. The constant conflict within him of hating all non-whites (strange arayan beliefs, who knows what is wrong with them) and how to deal with it is portrayed extremely well by Ryan Gosling. Right up there with American History X in terms of quality and realism.
