Toronto Film Festival: All The King's Men

Director Steven Zaillian presented Toronto with a (sort of) remake of 1949's ''All The King's Men''. Featuring Sean Penn, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, and much others, the movie is a political drama about an electing governor (Sean Penn) that becomes corrupted with his own power. Jude Law plays Jack Burden, a newspaper columnist.

Zaillian, however, seems to be the wrong man for this adaptation. Writer of marvelous movies, such as ''Schindler's List'' and ''Gangs of New York'', Zaillian makes this ''Men'' all wrong. The film is obnoxiously pointless and also features many miscasts. The dialogue is bad (surpisingly, Zaillian wrote the script himself) and there are scenes that are nothing but useless.

Sean Penn is the most outrageous miscast in the picture. His performance is filled with rage from the start. That would be a good thing if the movie's intention were to make the audience frightened right away. However, he was supposed to play a man that might sound fair and right at first, and then go all the way in corruption. However, Penn acts as if he were the devil himself. In several ways, he reminded me of Pacino in ''The Devils Advocate''. And this is the only situation where it is a bad thing.

The soundtrack is great, I enjoyed it a lot, and the movie has some good scenes. Jude Law and Kate Winslet are good in the roles given. Anthony Hopkins is great. And that is about it for the movie's ups.

It is shocking how a movie that had everything to be a major Oscar contender to fail so miserably. In fact, this is the authentically Oscar bait. A movie with a lot of fuzz, but no content.---5/10
