Tony Kaye (1) (1952–)

A teenager is following in his ex-con, skinhead brother's footsteps.

Great as a character study. Bad on the "we'd like you to know that violent hatred is a bad thing" front, because, uh, yeah, no kidding. Unless you happen to be a crazy-as-f*** seething racist, it's not exactly going to be a life-effecting film. And I don't like it when movies have A Point at the best of times.

Derek Vinyard, the charismatic leader of a group of young white supremacists, lands in prison for a brutal, hate-driven murder. Upon his release, ashamed of his past, and pledging to reform, Derek realizes he must save his younger brother, Danny, from a similar fate. A groundbreaking, controversial drama about the consequences of racism on a family. Rated R.
