Review

pretty standard stuff here, nothing special. watts and penn do the sad face thing for a couple hours and make a somewhat interesting story rather boring and heavy-handed. it just seems like they don’t know how to make serious films like they once did. there’s no balance here between the serious and the comic, but we also get the impression that that’s how joe wilson lives his life. so, in that way, i guess penn was the perfect casting because that guy’s lips are tighter than a drum. doug liman is usually a pretty interesting director, but he comes up short here.
