All the King's Men are not All There
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.
Although Sean Penn was the main attraction of the movie, it did not do a sufficient job of conveying it's message.
It was really disappointing for the people who have read the book or have seen the old movie. It did not relate to any of the main parts of the book such as Willie Stark asking for Black rights. There was alot of Racial discrimination in the book but it didn't talk about it. Jude Law's character wasn't focused enough. He was suppose to be miserable but you don't get an impression of misery. Penn gave me an ecstatic impression of himself. It was overlaping everyone's character. It's worth seeing once.
It's not what everyone expected it to be. A heartbreaker. Predictable at times such as Adam killing Stark, Judge irwin killing himself, and so on. After Stark's second speech the movie was worthless. I wouldn't buy it but suggest seeing it in theaters, just once.
