Super dark and bleak through its entirety. Everyone was great and Penn knocked it out of the park.
Hard hitting action that blind sides you with twists and turns and the unsettling ambience really roasts into your skin in this. Loved it.
This movie was really good. It angered me throughout, but it was still good.
Plot of the movie is good but I don't like what happened to dave in the last
Amazing story and performances, especially Sean and Tim. Slow but gripping. The ending pissed me off, yet it stayed with me. Might rewatch.
this extremely dark film about intense trauma moves a bit slow but the story is excellent & will keep your attention
One of my all time favorite movies. Great suspense, dark and with depth. Sean Penn delivers a performance of a lifetime.
Sean Penn as a big hearted gentle & cuthroat mafioso in leather.
A dark, foreboding and well done film that makes the viewer get sucked into their world. Great storytelling.
I just wanted to see how this movie got 2 Oscar's for both the leading & supporting roles and yeah, it was well deserved.
