Add a CommentAn interesting plot with several twists.
This was a great movie with strong performances from both Richard Gere and especially Ed Norton. The ending blew me away. I've been aware of Ed Norton for a long time but just haven't watched a lot of his movies until lately and I'm very impressed with his acting. You have to watch the extras on this particulary the proces of finally choosing Edward for the part. I watched this several times because once I saw the film, watched it again with the commentaries.
Evin better the second time around ! Great performances. Twisting story.
Primal Fear ---- DVD-2007----You will watch this movie many times.----Enjoy!----RichardPaul
great flick
Ingenious plot twists and a stellar performance by Edward Norton that launched his career.
