Sean Penn was in The Game and Mystic River. Both very, very good films. I can’t stand him, but he was really good in Mystic River.
I liked Mystic River as well. I just didn’t understand why they waited until the last minute to inform us that Sean Penn’s character’s wife was a Lady MacBeth. I haven’t gotten around to reading the book, but I have a hard time believing a novelist would wait until the last pages to inform us of that.
