The saddest element of this story is not the yarn about the potential fall from grace through politics, but rather the splendid cast wasted on a story that plods excruiatingly slow. I witnessed at least a dozen movie-goers walking out halfway, and the man behind me snoring did not help matters much. I give kudos to the actors who did a wonderful job on a very weak screenplay. Scenes of the post-depression era were depicted very realistic; you could almost smell the desperation and poverty. However, the relationships between characters were not clear at times and I wished I had subtitles to understand Sean Penn's accent from time to time.
Overall, it was disappointing.
