À propos de ce film

Al Pacino and director Barry Levinson ('You Don't Know Jack') reteam in a compelling portrait of legendary Penn State head-football coach Joe Paterno as his much-heralded career goes down in the flames of the infamous Jerry Sandusky sexual-abuse scandal.

Notes et avis

Unlike the statement by apparent moron Dan Stevens earlier review, Al PACINO (NOT Robert DeNiro, clown. Seriously, who DON'T know the difference between Pacino and DeNiro?! Don't look, sound or act alike. But Dan was so quick to spout his pc nonsense lmao) does a great job with a tough role. Great cut scenes to start, they make clear the "God like standing" JoePa had at PSU and any role that mentality had on campus and within the community at Happy Valley. Every actor is believable in their roles. Great movie? No. But it is very factual, and very good. Sticks to the facts as they played out in public. The "behind closed doors" scenes felt very authentic. Definitely worth the hour and 45 mins.

Deniro was busted recently having sexual relations with kids.. so him and Paterno have something in common.

Paterno's willful blindness is played off as confusion; should have emphasized the son who saw the handwriting on the wall.
