Mystic River starring Sean Penn, Tim
Robbins, Kevin Bacon, Emmy
Rossum, Laura Linney
A Triumph In Film Making But Also A Tragedy
Superior acting, writing, and direction are on impressive display in the
critically acclaimed Mystic River, Clint Eastwoods 24th directorial outing
and one of the finest films of 2003. Sharply adapted by L.A. Confidential
Oscar-winner Brian Helgeland from the novel by Dennis Lehane, this
chilling mystery revolves around three boyhood friends in working-class
Boston--played as adults by Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, and Kevin Bacon--
drawn together by a crime from the past and a murder (of the Penn
characters 19-year-old daughter) in the present. These dual tragedies
arouse a vicious cycle of suspicion, guilt, and repressed anxieties, primed
to explode with devastating and unpredictable results. Eastwood is
perfectly in tune with this brooding material, giving his flawless cast
(including Laura Linney, Marcia Gay Harden and Laurence Fishburne)
ample opportunity to plumb the depths of a resonant human tragedy,
leading to an ambiguous ending that qualifies Mystic River for
contemporary classic status. --Jeff Shannon
For CE this was like Mozart writing Eine Kleine Nacht Musik (A little night
music.) It was another quick piece of work he whipped up up one day for
the hell of it.in filmaking this film was truly a triumph. But in the ficton of
Boston it was a tragedy of misunderstanding wrong timing and impatience.
The performances were fonominal. Every time the credits role I love the
score. But also every time the credits role I wish Sean could of been a bit
sooner so Jimmy wouldn't of killed Dave. that part makes me sad always.
But I love CE's movies. He almost never dissapoints. except for Bronco
Billy Any which way but loose and every which way but loose. those
movies I never cared for. That is all i have to say
