‘Daddio Review: Sean Penn And Dakota Johnson Drive Breakthrough First Film From Christy Hall Telluride Film Festival
Daddio is a knockout, the type of anonymous hacker that many dream of but rarely happens. Trapped in a taxi on a busy highway from New York's JFK airport to Manhattan for a long night, new writer/director Christy Hall stages a heart-rending gunfight between an experienced New York taxi driver who saw it all. And the young woman is trying to figure it all out.
Sean Penn is here at his best as a salty, highly addictive working-class boy with lots of ideas and ways to grab passengers' attention, while Dakota Johnson remains an increasingly impatient passenger. The game squeezes the steering wheel to share your problems with your girlfriend. The film should appeal to a wide audience.
More than a term
Penn, who has remained in the shadows for the past few years, cements his longtime status as one of America's finest actors with humor and an outlook on life that is sometimes a little too deep rather than theatrical and poignant. Of all the angels. In any case, he is petty, though there is not much to show, and he is a guy with a great sense of humor who knows what he wants, but has no idea how to use his mental abilities.
On this dark night, there's little to see from the car windows, and the conversation starts out innocuous enough to slow down the traffic, and it's clear that the two will be stuck for quite some time. So, they go on an unexpected journey into the night, sharing some discoveries, but mostly Will Clark (Ben) starts asking random and often hilarious questions about himself and his life.
He may not be completely honest from the start, but Will's cheerful and talkative way of asking questions and making comments is often very entertaining and never intrusive. This guy is so charming and self-critical when he tells his stories that it's easy to believe that people are open to him.
As the traffic continues to get worse, more and more information comes out and she gradually becomes more serious towards Clarke; A few minutes of dialogue seem a little forced or unnatural.
With a relatively small budget, the work of each department stands out from the general background.
