I agree with this all. I also thought that everything that guy was doing was really un-intelligent. If he really wanted to escape his life he could at least prepare himself to live in the conditions he chose. He acted like a child who was angry on his parents and tried to make some bullshit harm just to pay more attention to his ever-growing EGO.
That's the story only, but the production of the movie was great, all the scenes were very beautiful. And i thought of this - if the movie evoked so many emotions in me while watching, well Sean Penn made this movie work. It hooked me. And actors were great too. So 9/10.
