i can not explain to you what a AMAZING job sean penn did in this movie, i cant belive this was not advirtised to the fullest!! amazing filming and setting, story was riviting and somthing everyone should see and no about!! and the acting MY GOD, AMAZING one of sean penns DEFINATE best performances!! ppl should see this very true and is un-forgettalbe, when its over, u will think, what an awsome movie, it really makes u think of our society today and how corrupt it is
THIS IS WHAT FILMS AND ACTING ARE MADE OF!!!
Sean Penn is absolutely stunning...just completely spectacular. Naomi Watts is half decent as well, and Don Cheadle is his normal consistent self. The story however...I have mixed feelings. Although I see the point made about the inequalities of the 1960`s/70`s society and its struggles with racism and a floundering democratic economy, but was Sean Penn`s character really mistreated or was he just a dumb man?
I can honestly say this is the finest film I have seen in the last ten years or more. There is not a flawed moment performance-wise and the relevance and heart of this film are mind-boggling. I`m thrilled to see, as I write this, that the vast majority of voters agree with me in giving this film the 5 starts it so richly deserves.
I can honestly say I have watched the worst movie ever made. If i could take away stars I would -5* would be generous.
Outstanding. Sean Penn is amazing. Completely captivating.
