But his last visit was rocky. Penn's film, 2016’s “The Last Face,” flopped with crit...

Dylan Penn stars in Flag Day Dir: Sean Penn; Starring: Dylan Penn, Sean Penn, Katheryn Winnick, Josh Brolin, Dale Dickey, Jadyn Rylee, Eddie Marsan. Cert tbc, 108 mins. Is Sean Penn’s new film a fond tribute from a father to his daughter, or just the Hollywood version of Take Your Child to Work Day? The intentions are as flatteringly fuzzy as the glowing 1970s-style camerawork in this adaptation of the American journalist Jennifer Vogel’s memoir Flim-Flam Man, about her strained relationship with her father John, an inveterate crook who makes forays into bank robbery, arson and counterfei...
