Based on the Robert Penn Warren novel. The life of populist Southerner Willie Stark, a political creature loosely based on Governor Huey Long of Louisiana.
What a great and intriguing storyline. This should definitely garner Sean Penn and probably even Jude Law more Oscar nominations. They worked well together and Kate Winslet and Anthony Hopkins were enjoyable as well. My only beef with the film was James Gandolfini's accent. He looked the part but the Louisiana accent was HORRIBLE!
