"Cheyenne (Sean Penn) is a wealthy former rock star, now bored and jaded in his 20 year retirement in Dublin. He retired after two of his teenaged fans committed suicide. He travels to New York to reconcile with his estranged father during his final hours, only to arrive too late. The reason he gives for not communicating with his father for 30 years was that his father rejected him when he put on glam-rock makeup at the age of 15. He reads his father's diary and learns about his father's persecution in
Auschwitz at the hands of former
SS Officer Alois Lange. He visits a professional Nazi-hunter named Mordecai who tells him that Lange is small fry."
It was pretty interesting to see Sean Penn play a character like this, you almost can't believe he did a role like this. This was a decent movie until it got more towards finding a former SS officer then it was slightly boring. There are so many problems in this film it might make your head spin. The film has a very slow place and a few interesting characters like Mary. I will suggest this film to those that like slow paced films and Sean Penn movies
2/5
