Episode 056: State of Grace (1990) with Zack Carlson

“State Of Grace” is the film that should have ensured the whole world learned how to pronounce Phil Joanou’s last name. For reasons we will explore with guest co-host Zack Carlson…it didn’t work out that way.

Directed by Phil Joanou. Starring Sean Pean, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright, Ed Harris, John C. Reilly & John Turturro

How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Andras: I like “State Of Grace” more than “Good Fellas”. I wouldn’t even make the comparison if the two films hadn’t been released the same weekend. Oh sure…”Good Fellas” is a “better movie” but I like the actors in this one more and if I’m even twenty percent correct in my perverse opinion, this is a film all lovers of 90’s crime dramas should re-assess, if only to appreciate the greatness of Robin Wright’s performance with all these tough guys.
