Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn (Best Actor, Mystic River, 2003), two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law (Best Actor, Cold Mountain, 2003), five-time Academy Award nominee Kate Winslet (Best Actress, Titanic, 1997), and Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins (Best Actor, The Silence Of The Lambs 1991) star in this riveting story of a humble man's rise to political power and the destructive force of corruption and betrayal that would ultimately unravel his soul. Based on Robert Penn Warren's 1946 classic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and co-starring James Gandolfini, Mark Ruffalo and Patricia Clarkson.

All the King's Men review by Rubber Ducky
Good political drama
(2) of (3) members found this review helpful.
Story of corruption in American politics (nothing new there then!) but set in the 1950's in Louisiana. It traces the true life rise to power of an ordinary 'hick', played brilliantly by Sean Penn, who appeals to his people to win the election of governor by a landslide. He is supported by a journalist from a wealthy, priveleged background (a good performance from Jude Law). I didn't know the story but followed the film OK. Anthony Hopkins provides further acting talent, although Kate Winslet is really wasted in her role as she appears to have very little to do other than provide eye candy.
