This was an excellent character study about an aging cop, who can't seem to let go of his job. Nicholson has rarely been better, and Sean Penn's eye for detail adds to this somber yet meaningful film. The film is deliberately paced, and lacks your typical Hollywood ending (Thank God!), and this is probably why your typical dumb movie going audience won't take to it. It is an intelligent, well thought out film, with many familiar faces. A gem of a film, and lets hope we see Penn behind the camera more often.
