Not really my cup of tea but it went anyway because of how highly acclaimed this movie was. Sean Penn does an excellent job of playing a Louisiana Governor in the 1950’s. He’s an honest man that gets tempted by too much power which results in his downfall. Jude Law, James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo and Sir Anthony Hopkins provide a great supporting cast. He is definitely getting an Oscar nomination for this. 4 out of 5 stars. Be warned it’s over 2 hours long.
