In his third film as a director, Sean Penn presents a more assured and           affecting variation on the theme of his second, The Crossing Guard. Jack   Nicholson again stars as a man obsessed with bringing the killer of a child to   justice. This time, however, the killer is unknown and his crime deliberate.   But in his unrelenting pursuit of the enemy, Nicholson's retired cop risks the stability and sanity of his own life. "...a haunting combination of            psychological drama and character study about a man who becomes undone by his    obsessive quest for closure" (Anthony Leong, Media Circus). Also         starring Aaron Eckhart, Robin Wright Penn, Sam Shepard, Tom Noonan, Mickey     Rourke, Vanessa Redgrave, Helen Mirren and Benicio Del Toro.                   Sean Penn---USA---2001---123 mins.
