Sean Penn gives a solid performance as a loser who after losing his wife and job fails to high jack a plane that he apparently planned to crash into the White House. The film supposedly wants to give insight into the mind of a potential murderer but fails to do so and falls into cliche despite a strong cast that includes Naomi Watts and Don Cheadle. The over usage of Richard Nixon footage becomes really annoying and backfires on the filmmakers since his tragedy appears more real and interesting than anything we witness in the film.
