Movie: The Crossing Guard(1995)

Directed by Sean Penn, this movie stars Jack Nicholson, Angelica Houston and David Morse.
A girl is the victim of a fatal drunken driving accident. Her father(Jack Nicholson) wants retribution. The guilt-striken culprit(David Morse) wants punishment. The scene where the vengeful father confonts his daughter's killer is one of the greatest highlights of this movie. David Morse holds his own against the veteran thespian Nicholson.
However, the end was a bit of a let-down, a little too dramatic in this case. Clearly, directing is not Penn's forte. Still watchable because of some great performances.
