Re: See Dead Man Walking, At Close Range, and Bad Boys and you'll see

IMHO Penn's best work: At Close Range, Bad Boys, Falcon & Snowman, Dead Man Walking and Carlito's way.

Mystic River - his performance was not convincing but was over the top. In the scence you referred to I found Penn's acting to be much too forced. Very much to my surprise, the best acting in MR was done by Tim Robbins.

21 Grams - solid performances by Watts & Benico and a marginal performance by Penn. Penn has played the adrift character (very well) a few times, however I didn't think he pulled it off in 21G. I concur that the movie had many shortcomings. I don't attribute my dislike of that film solely to Penn, but as his character occupied about 1/3 of 21G, its impossible for me to not recogonize his poor performance as one of major flaws.
