I didn't like the ending *spoilers*

Rating: Null/10 (23 December 2003)

SPOILERS It was a good crimestory. But i don't like sean penn. Especially not in this film. He goes from grieving father to icecold killer. Acting like a gangster with the Savage brothers helping him out. Its not believable even though he has killed before.
I feel so bad for Tim Robbins character. The guy is a wreck after what happened to him in his childhood. He gets worse and worse during the film only to end up being killed in cold blood buy sean penn who forces a confession out of the poor guy. And then penns insane wife completely accepts what he has done and gives him compliments and says he is a great father. and he ends up standing at a townparade with his wife smiling, not giving a damn about killing an innocent man. I wanted Penns character to die or at least go to jail at the end of the film. but he gets away with it. And he turns Robbins wife into a widow. But thats not shown in the film.
Penn was the badguy in the film. Not the boys and not Robbins. but Penn.
