Sean Penn puts in one of his best performances to date in this highly underrated thriller based on true life events.
Depressing movie. It shows the troubles of an every day man and also the extremes he takes because of his misfortune.

Did he really tried to assassinate Nixon? I didn't see Nixon in the movie, just in the TV of the movie. Overall, it's a sad movie of a working man having nothing going his way, that led him to insanity.

Sean Penn is good as always, but the movie itself is just to slow. I had to watch it in two parts before the first part put me to sleep.
