Very good.

What's not to like? Penn does a great job behind the camera, and in front you have Morse and Mortensen. Morse excels as the "good" brother to Mortensen's "bad".

Penn clearly took some pages from Cassavetes' book for his directing debut, and the resulting film is similarly well-performed, though not as challenging as a Cassavetes picture. It is wonderfully dramatic in a modest way, and it has my favorite montage ever.

Moody piece. Lethargic at times, but filled with emotion and truth, and ultimately quite moving. Strong performances all around, with offbeat but effective casting of Bronson as the boys' melancholy father.

As you'd expect of a movie inspired by a Bruce Springsteen song, this movie has nothing to say and it says it really slowly. Only see this if you want to see Charles Bronson... well, it's against my religion to give it away

This movie was the one of the first to really have an emotional impact on me, which is largely the reason for the high score. A bit like a pathos-loaded and more melodramatic Cassavetes film.

The directorial debut from Penn takes inspiration from a Bruce Springsteen song from "Nebraska," and, at its best, it has the same considered quiet intensity of all of the songs populating that album. By the end, Penn has caved into his worst instincts and let cheesy imagery overtake the film just enough to undercut the well-earned heavy emotions of the material. Most of Penn's writing here is lean and affecting, but he can't apply the same discipline to the rest of the film.

why is this guy always an indian role.

Modern society has robbed us of our primal selves. It's no wonder so many people go crazy when their purpose in life is a minute and soul crushing addition to the US GDP. The entire movie is just pure americana.
