Paul Thomas Anderson channels his inner Tarantino (ultraviolence, edgy racial humor) and makes a shlubby Leonard DiCaprio his anti-hero for the ages. There's some real humor as well. The ICE scenes are intense, but also strangely ineffective -- if freedom is only a phone call to Benicio del Toro's dojo away, what's to worry about in the long run? Sean Penn chews lots of scenery as the bad guy, and this might be a deal-breaker for some.
Overall, very classy with a few misses.
Four revolutionary joints out of five!
