QUOTES ABOUT MR. NORTON
American History X
"Norton is perfect for the role. Even in the grip of passion, he acts as though he's a reasonable guy, leading from his head." The San Francisco Chronicle
"One of the movie's chief assets is a magnetic lead performance by Edward Norton. He has been loudly heralded in the past for his showy work in Primal Fear and The People vs. Larry Flynt, but I think the actor has really proven himself this year. In Rounders he was a perfectly wiry, likable Ratzo Rizzo-style heel who easily seduced golden boy Matt Damon into his grifting schemes. Here, he does a remarkable turnabout as an intensely charismatic, beefed-up skinhead who lives by his own twisted, hatefully bigoted rhetoric." Mr. Showbiz
"There's scarcely a false note to the performance of either Furlong or Norton, the latter an almost certain Academy Award nominee." Box Office Magazine
Rounders
"Norton is electrifyingly good. He's genuinely scary and that gives the audience every reason to fear for Mike's safety." Louis B. Hobson: Calgary Sun
"Norton...is terrific as the bottom-feeding Worm, simultaneously funny and infuriating." Kansas City Star
"Norton is superb in one of the bad-boy roles that will probably color the shape of his career" The Washington Post
"Norton energizes virtually every scene he's in. The guy's been
in four movies and he's been great in each of them as totally different
characters: a psycho in "Primal Fear," a green but likable lawyer
in "The People vs. Larry Flynt," a young Manhattanite in love
in "Everyone Says I Love You" and now this lowlife gambler.
He's utterly natural, as is Damon, but in a completely different way. Norton's
a chameleon who turns into whatever character he's playing." The
Post-Gazette
Everyone Says I Love You
" Norton...is a joy to watch. He is genuinely befuddled as his character gets swept away by the emotions that make him want to sing." Box Office Magazine
Primal Fear
"He brilliantly mixes timidity and rage in developing a character who
is at once sympathetic and scary. Audiences are likely to find they can't
get enough of his exceptional performance, as well as his coy smile."
The San Francisco Chronicle
