i never even heard of this movie and until about a year ago . i see it for sale at blockbuster . i buy it because of sean penn . this be one good gangster movie that few know about . the acting be great and it surprise you and even have a pretty good love story go on . one of the best scene you have to see and be when ed harris meet with his bos about kill his brother ( oldman ) . the tension be so strong when he tell his gang to come and back him up if he do not call by 2 representoo oclock . this be good movie making . you have to see this scene and the movie have a lot of great one . i highly recommend state of grace .
