Before seeing All the King's Men, I had read some negative commentary regarding the weak southern accents in the portrayals of Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Anthony Hopkins. The accents are weak, but the acting is superb. That is a fair trade.
The writing is superlative.
Sean Penn, once again, gives a riveting performance. Is there any role he can't master? Jackie Earle Haley is the only person I have ever seen discharge a firearm on screen without flinching. He is a profound Sugar Boy.
It is worthy of nomination for award.
