Review of All the King's Men (1949) by Jessica R — 19 Jul 2008

Not a good film. I don't have to be spoon fed my films but this was hard going. Sean Penn was extremely difficult to understand at points & the story was poorly told throughout. They make reference to events that you never see & there seems to be a point at which a good man becomes a bad guy .

. . this is never defined & ultimately the film seems to have no message. I get the feeling that these big names may have been between projects & just wanted to pay some bills? Extremely slow paced & quite boring!
