THE ASSASSINATION OF RICHARD NIXON (2004) - May 2, 2005
Sean Penn is excellent in this film as Sam Bicke (a name whose similarity to Travis Bickle is clearly intentional, as this movie owes a great deal to Taxi Driver). The film is plotless, focusing entirely on Sean Penn's character and his descent from mildly crazy guy to really crazy guy, and it works, mostly because Penn's performance is so good. ***
