State of Grace
★★★
Creator: Phil Joanou
Year: 1990
I’m not sure how I never heard of this film. An all-star cast set right here in Hell’s Kitchen, just blocks from where I work. It’s one of those great NYC films, all set and shot here with a storyline that could only take place in NYC. There’s a deliberate pace to it and it’s clearly when Sean Penn came into his own for dramatic acting.
