7/10
Naive system critic
24 April 2005
The masterpiece about these matters is and will probably remain Arthur Miller's drama "Death of a Salesman", which mercilessly and strongly hits the American system and tells what big and small business often is about. There are always people, many people, who gets hurt also in the best of worlds and the best of economies.

Here is another "little" man, another loser. But everything is too obvious, both in the script and unfortunately in Sean Penn's acting. These things certainly happens to people, and even much worse. We are living in economies, not societies, but the audience is here underestimated. This isn't life and it's also a little too childish to be considered good drama. But Naomi Watts is brilliant.

Anyway it's a good thing watching a film which is questioning the system. Is it a sign of us getting the 70s views back? Are everybody getting tired of the hallelujah monetarism?
