Nano N Sean Penn at his peak, I suppose. Oldman shows more charisma and is more fun to watch. The ending was really unbelievable not in a good way. Even the greediest gangster is not going to shoot and kill his own brother point blank. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Daniel C. M Better known as "the one mobster movie from 1990 that got completely overshadowed by Goodfellas", State of Grace still remains a fine piece of work with great, realist characters and acting, with a special highlight to Gary Oldman's amazing performance; and it all wraps up in a typical but thrilling and immersive final shootout. Despite all of it's qualities, the story definetely is written like it has a good amount of Soap Opera's roots, and even for those who are willing to tolerate like me, it will definetely take a toll on the other aspects of the moving, specially in some of the pacing; as the movie has a small but considerable amount of completely needless scenes, specially the ones envolving Sean Penn's love interest, Kathleen, played by Robin Wright, which is a a character which could easily be removed in it's entirety from this movie and it would be benefited from this change. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Mike c I'm no movie critic or expert. And I won't pretend to be. This movie is very entertaining and it is great to see the young upcoming actors..Sean Penn, Gary Oldman, Robin Wright, John C Riley and Ed Harris. And if you liked the final shoot em up scene in Django by Tarantino, you will love the final scene in this one. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Les N Where is all began... Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/30/25 Full Review matthew w I remember watching this as a teen & thought it was the dogs bollocks, but now rewatching it thirty five years later my opinion has definitely changed, yes some of it is really good like the always excellent Harris & the constant grey & seedy look the director generates, it looks great showing the grim underbelly of New York But there is also bad, especially Oldman who ramps the over acting to ten & alone nearly spoils the movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Thomas B The dialogue is pretty awful, most of the movie feels slow, and Gary Oldman really made some horrible choices throughout the film. His accent is pretty atrocious, too. You’ll see people talk about how this movie was overlooked because it came out so close to Goodfellas, but I think audiences just didn’t recommend this to their friends because it wasn’t entertaining.
