His acting was cool in here, no doubt about it but there's something wrong about his acting in the last part... when his brother died and he cried. I could see he's struggling to get that crying acting, honestly.
shareThat's the director's fault. Every actor can sometimes "screw" a scene, but the duty of a director is to keep filming, until he got the scene right.
And I really doubt, that Norton couldn't do better.

It's exactly what I thought when I watched the movie.
Norton is one of my favourite actors, so I was a bit disappointed by this scene. He was supposed to express double pain (for his brother's death and for the sense of guilt), but I honestly didn't feel the pain.
What a pity, in the rest of the movie he was very convincing.
I thought the same thing! He's a great actor, very dedicated to his craft, in most respects--but his "crying acting" as you aptly call it needs work--or at least it did circa 1998.
