Just ghosts evaporating from the earth

If Academy Awards were mine to give, I'd give one to Sean Penn every year. His outstanding career, as a director and an actor, is oftentimes forgotten. Flag Day is his 6th directional piece and it may not be his greatest, but you sense the devotion and the blood and tears he's put into this based on a true story -project. It's a unique father-daughter movie, his performance as John Vogel, a con artist, is phenomenal. So is Dylan Penn's, Sean's actual daughter, and the supporting cast including Katheryn Winnick and Josh Brolin. Can't understand the negative feedback.
