Breathe J @SilverScreenSweetheart 1d Inspired by a true story, this film follows Sam Bicke’s (Sean Penn) dissent into madness and his assassination attempt on President Richard Nixon. Drenched in passion, violence, and moral ambiguity, this film is an intense political thriller that will stun audiences. Sean Penn’s breathtaking performance in this film is absolutely remarkable! His facial expressions, tone of voice, physical reactions, and unwavering charisma are demanding of an Academy Award. As brilliant as Robert De Niro was in Taxi Driver, I would say that Sean Penn exceeded De Niro with this performance. And that says a LOT. My only critiques of this film are the pacing, which confusingly bounced between slow and lightning fast, and the other actors (although, to be fair, basically everyone looks dull when starring next to the unbeatable Sean Penn). Overall, this film is strong and definitely exceeded my expectations. Thanks for reading. God bless you, and stay safe. (Call 911 if you’re in an emergency.)

The movie gives a good look at the time period and examination of that era See more GM @Greyzer 02/07/2023 Not only Sean Penn but the great Jack Thompson as well!
