Incredibly bleak, Christopher Walken is having a lot of fun.

This movie is fun, but I had to dock it for one specific scene. This and King of New York Christopher Walken is a lot of fun. The whole cast is filled with familiar faces in early roles which is always enjoyable. My biggest question though… Why the hell is Sean Penn so jacked for this movie 😂😂

Can’t believe I’m willing watching a Sean Penn movie. Kinda hate him. Well not really kinda. Another glover movie in a row. Talk about a nepo cast. Even the writer is a nepo baby. Shame on his dad. Actually Nicholas kazans dad (elia kazan) technically black listed Sean Penns dad. I didn’t even recognize that was chris Penn. overall the movie kinda sucked. Like the ending with the music and zoom on freeze frame.
