I'm not generally a big Sean Penn fan - don't know why, really... there's just something about him that rubs me the wrong way - but that's OK because he's behind the camera. I really like the main actor though, Emile Hirsch. He's been underrated to this point in underrated movies - The Girl Next Door (2004) was actually a pretty cheeky send-up of the whole teeny-bopper genre and last year's Alpha Dog had several strong performances (Justin Timberlake not withstanding), not least of which came from Hirsch. This sounds like an intriguing story and I have been meaning to check it out, just been too busy with other sheeyte.
