Sean Penn doesn’t play villains you’re meant to enjoy. He plays the kind that make you uncomfortable because they feel real. No charm. No spectacle. Just power exercised without empathy.
If you’re waiting for likability, you’re missing the warning.
This isn’t a villain designed to entertain you.
It’s one designed to expose how violence actually works.
Most audiences don’t hate ruthless villains.
They hate that there’s nothing to excuse.
