There I have Primal Fear, a memorable film with a memorable performance from Edward Norton in his first film debut. Richard Gere as Martin Vail is defending Aaron Stampler played by Edward Norton who believes that he is not guilty of murdering the Archbishop after being chased by the police while being covered in blood.

So this leads to Martin to decide that Aaron is innocent. Edward Norton is fantastic in this role as Aaron Stampler/Roy. Now by saying Roy, Aaron Stampler has multiple personalities who he turns into Roy who seemly doesn't have a stutter.

Edward Norton in his first film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture. He's fantastic in this. The twist at the end is phenomenal.

Well, I gotta say that this is a great entertaining film with it's thrills that can be worth a wait and a Oscar nominated performance from Edward Norton.
