But fundamentally, it's Norton who makes the movie worth watching; even the scenes he's not in feel like they're about him, how his influence ripples out into the people around him.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"IDshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40265901637816,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/91IvxUWBLGL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1628823744","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/en\/products\/stone-blu-ray","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
