A wealthy, bored and jaded former rock star (Sean Penn) embarks on a quest to find his father's persecutor, an ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S. Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in hopes of being reconciled with him during his final hours. Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now on point of death that he learns the true extent of his father's humiliation in Auschwitz: an event he is determined to avenge. So begins a life-altering journey across the heartland of America, to track down and confront his father's nemesis…


Man, the synopses of yet-to-be-produced movies can really make them sound like they suck sometimes. It’s up to Today’s Winner to somehow redeem this rickety premise. Not even co-star Frances McDormand will be of much help, I fear.
