In Reply to: What do you expect with Penn having such a predominate role? posted by PdL on April 4, 2006 at 10:52:23:
three of the best performances by a male lead in the past 50 years.
Mystic River was flawed but his performance was believable. That howl from the street as his daughter's death became apparent... nightmarishly great.
Similarly, 21 Grams showed Sean could play a character adrift. I think you may be blaming Penn for some of the films' shortcomings. The performances in both films I found excellent (Del Toro, Watts, etc.).
