But what exactly does the script say? human nature? society? Or just a tragic tale of a careerist? What exactly is the point of it?
If it's a tragic story, then his pathetic, a countryman who inadvertently walks into politics, goes on to success, and ultimately destroys him, the whole story just relying on Sean Penn's chatter is very unconvincing.
If it is human nature, then what is Sean Penn's lost, and what is Jude Law and the people around him lost. The script just drags and repeats those insignificant pictures, and the story is not enough.
At the end of the day, it seems that this is a story that is not vividly told.
