There was a lot of clamoring that an entire X-Men spinoff could have been devoted to Magneto: Nazi Hunter, but alas such a ship has probably sailed. I’m not sure Sean Penn playing a mealy-mouthed former goth rocker on a similar quest will have quite the same flair, but This Must Be The Place might be the best Nazi-hunting you get for a while. The trailer is exceptionally “indie” but not without genuine charm, even if Penn is giving off a serious Mickey Doyle vibe (minus the heheheheh 1920’s chuckles).
Definitely edges heavily on the quirky shit, and though Talking Heads are so much more profoundly awesome, using one of their hits in a trailer isn’t much better than breaking out the U2 these days.
I’ll be happy to give the film a shot, I just hope it has something real to say.
