Negative Positive
Title: First rate work.
Review: An excellent film that looks superb on DVD, I hope that this latest work by Sean Penn gets a wider audience now than it did in its theatrical release. I'm not overly optimistic though; the wonderful performances, with Nicholson outstanding, serve to reinforce the grim subject matter, and lend a reality that many will find too much to bear. I very much enjoyed this film, and recommend it to viewers who appreciate fine acting and storytelling. Just don't expect easy answers and an ending that warms the heart. Sean Penn is one talented dude!
