I DO NOT like Sean Penn, but he was very good in Carlito’s Way.
Carlito’s Way was good and Sean Penn’s character was creepy but Al carried the film.
Here is another one with Penn - State of Grace. Why is it good. Gary Oldman - peerless. He carried Penn through the film. Posters on youtube say Oldman should have gotten an Academy Award for this one - I agree.
Hate Sean Penn as a person, but he is a fine actor. Mystic River tears my heart out when he finds out about his daughter.
