4 commercial flops...all came with critical lovefest reviews.
Came out about the same time as Saving Private Ryan....I rented it, hoping for more of the same. I watched it for 30 min or so and shut it off. Baaaaaaaaaad.
I vaguely remember reading the book when I was a kid, remember it as an OK read.
So are you saying either the movie was bad, or Penn is bad in them?
I think you will be hard pressed to find many who agree that he was bad in Mystic River. In fact I wouldn’t say he is outright bad in anything.
That’s a whole lot of crap. He has been on my Must Not See list for some time (his self importance, his ‘I’m making an important piece, I’m teaching people with my film’ attitude - and then it’s all leftie pablum). Thank you for reminding me why. I won’t be seeing Milk. I think he could well be one of the more overrated actors of our time. Ironically, I do enjoy his comedic roles on sitcoms. And I loved his brother, the late Chris Penn.
