State of Grace Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Phil Joanou
Genres: Crime
Rating:
This directorial effort from Phil_Joanou stars Sean_Penn as an Irish-American undercover cop working the Hell's Kitchen beat. Penn is ostensibly on a sentimental journey to his old neighborhood. Actually he's been assigned to infiltrate a criminal gang led by Ed_Harris, the brother of Sean's best friend Gary_Oldman. Penn suffers the requisite honor vs. duty anguish when he renews his childhood romance with Harris' sister Robin_Wright. State of Grace would have had more clout had it been more clear as to time and place: it's supposedly set in the 1990s, but the attitudes and behavior are pure 1970s. Hal Erickson, Rovi
