Review of State of Grace (1990) by Will G — 07 Mar 2008
I will say this for the film. It is A POWERHOUSE of Acting. I'm not a fan of Sean Penn. That being said this is my favorite Sean Penn film. Gary Oldman is my favorite actor and he delivered one HELL of a performance.
Ed Harris, Robin Wright Penn, and John C. Reiley blow the movie away as well. The plot however felt like it was being heald together by string cheese. If it wasn't for Ed Harris Playing the type of ccharacter he did this movie would have been unbelievable for me.
It was also too long. Though I was enjoying the performance I was looking at my watch alot near the end. The ending was worth the wait though. It was filmed in the same gritty style all 80's Drama/action flicks were filmed and admitedly I enjoy that style.
Overall it's a movie you watch once and that's good enough.
