Edward Norton not remembering who Aaron is:
The reason why he was perfect for that movie. After all these years, and he is still in character!

Primal Fear is one of the best films of the 90s. Period.

I felt so betrayed at the end of the movie, a slap in the face

[jessebrucepinkman]

The ending of Primal fear broke my heart, I felt so betrayed

[KevinCantWait]

Edward Norton’s role in “Primal Fear” gave us a perfect look into the mind of a sociopath… and he absolutely nailed it, especially for a film debut. That’s the craziest part.

Ed Norton deserved an Oscar for Primal Fear. He was robbed.

[heidicross]

Edward Norton is a brilliant actor who isn't given the credit he deserves.

I get the feeling that clapping scene in the cell inspired the clap for Heath Ledger’s joker clap in his cell

I remember watching Primal Fear with a friend who used to have a stutter, and whole movie he's like "That's not what a stutter sounds like."
It kind of made the reveal at the end better, because then it all clicked why the stutter sounded off (i.e. he's faking it).

That. That ending. Is something I will never forget. It was so shocking. I never saw it coming I don't think anybody did.

Ed Norton has done many great films but Primal Fear for me ranks up there as his #1. Fabulously done and so in character -- one of his very best.

Hands down a phenomenally crafted performance by Edward Norton, in Primal Fear.

I had seen many movies of Norton, but I couldn't see thr person, Edward Norton in a single movie. He was so deep in the character that even his body language changed for every other character. I never felt he was acting, it was so convincing that it was a different person. Then I saw Primal Fear this year, and I was shocked to know that those people from Birdman, Illusionist, Painted Veil, Hulk and Fight Club were all actually the same guy. So good that all his performances are distinct.

[noelia]

I love him so much. His voice is so iconic

[GoldenGateNum]

*Amazing actor, Edward Norton is very scary when he gets angry in his films, especially in American History X, and Fight Club, especially in the scene when he destroys Jared Leto's Angel Face!*

[bettina]

Still one of my favorite movies. Outstanding work by Norton. His performance doesn’t get old even after 20 +years Amazing

[CityThatCannotBeCaptured]

Primal Fear is one of the most magnificent movies of all time and the twist at the end is freaking Fabulous, fabulous movie.

[SN]

One of the best performances of all time.

[AC-izeh]

The thing I love about Primal Fear was the first watch the ending plot twist was a shock and then you re-watch the movie knowing the truth and you start to see that subtly Aaron and Roy was fake. Really great performance

[goyaguardian]
