  • A Very Heavy, Dark Movie

    "Mystic River" begins with the abduction and sexual assault of a young
    boy, and that sets the stage for the whole movie. No, this is not
    light, fluffy entertainment. This is a dark, heavy and tragic story
    about how a horrible event affects 3 (and, ultimately, more) lives.
    When Dave was abducted, he was playing street hockey with two friends,
    but it was Dave who was taken. After the portrayal of the assault, the
    movie picks up years later, when the lives of all three begin to come
    together again when the daughter of one of the three is murdered. Dave
    was played by Tim Robbins, who I thought was very convincing as a man
    tormented by his past. Jimmy, the father of the murdered girl, was also
    well played by Sean Penn. The character came across as something of a
    gangster-type, who decides to seek his own revenge against his
    daughter's killer. The most disappointing performance (perhaps because
    he was playing the least interesting character) was from Kevin Bacon as
    Sean, who has become a police detective and is hunting down the
    murderer.The story unfolds slowly but remains interesting throughout. The
    suggestion throughout was that Dave was the murderer, but right from
    the beginning that seemed too easy and obvious to me. That suspicion
    led to ultimately tragic results at the end of the movie that were at
    least the equal of the tragic beginning of the movie. Good use was made
    of locations, which added a realistic feel to the movie throughout. The
    strange relationship between Sean and his ex-wife, who would repeatedly
    phone him and then not speak, struck me as a little bit silly and I
    thought detracted from the story. In the end, I also wasn't sure how I
    should feel about what was happening. On the one hand, you have to feel
    sympathy for Jimmy, who has to come to terms with his daughter's
    murder. On the other hand, you have the sense that this guy needs to
    face some consequences for what he's done, and there's no indication
    that he will. So I was left with mixed emotions.Certainly, a good movie - but, as I said, a very heavy movie. 7/10

  • Mystic Tragedy

    Mystic River is a very mysterious and tragic film. The mood of the
    movie is very dark, suspenseful, and chilling. The movie starts out
    with three boys playing stickball in a rough section of Boston, known
    as East Buckingham. Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn), Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins),
    and Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) always did what most boys do in their
    neighborhood. Nothing exciting ever happened until one day Dave was
    forced to take the ride that would change all their lives forever. The
    boys all stopped spending time together and eventually grew apart.
    Their lives all turned in different directions. Now twenty-five years later, yet another life-altering event, the
    murder of Jimmy's daughter, brings them all back together again. Sean
    has become a cop, and he and his partner are now assigned to unravel
    this mysterious crime. Jimmy, now full of rage, wants to find his
    daughters murderer. Sean must stay a couple steps ahead of him so no
    one gets killed. Dave comes home late one night with blood all over him. The same night
    Jimmy's daughter, Katie, was murdered. Dave's wife, Celeste, helps him
    clean everything up. The next day Dave starts to act weird and becomes
    distant. Celeste now thinks that something's up and he may be the
    killer of Katie. Because of Dave's terrifying past, he is now a suspect
    in the mysterious crime. I loved the film. Clint Eastwood did an amazing job directing it. The
    scenes, setting and story plot are fantastic. The music keeps you on
    your toes and was perfect for this movie. Mystic River is full of
    suspense and mystery. For me the film was a little to long. There is not to much I would
    change about it though. This was my favorite movie out of all the films
    we have seen so far. I really did not like how the movie ended. I believe all the actors did a phenomenal job playing their roles. Sean
    Penn did an excellent job playing the enraged father, Jimmy. Tim
    Robbins did fantastic as the disturbed Dave. Kevin Bacon did amazing
    playing the role as the determined cop Sean. Marcia Gay Harden played
    the role as Celeste. Celeste is Dave's wife in the movie, and did a
    fantastic job acting scared, nervous, and suspicious of Dave's late
    night out. Laura Linney as the role of Annabeth. In the film, Annabeth
    is Jimmy's wife, and does an amazing job acting strong, tough, and very
    protective. Then playing the role as Sean's partner Whitey is Laurence
    Fishburne. In the movie she is a homicide detective and stands by
    Sean's side trying to unravel the murder.Anyone who enjoys suspenseful, mysterious movies should watch this one.
    Clint Eastwood did an amazing job not only getting the right actors for
    this film, but an awesome job directing it. You could not ask for a
    better movie. It has its twists and turn to keep you guessing on who
    murdered Katie. This is one of my favorite movies. I can't believe how
    the movie ended. I rate this movie a 10 out of 10!! Word Count: 522

  • Another Clint Classic

    If anyone read my "Unforgiven" review, you will know that I am a Clint
    fan-boy, so I will try not to sound biased. This is my second favorite
    Clint film, next to "Unforgiven." The film, like most Clint films,
    embraces the consequences of violence and crime. It also focuses on
    people with regrettable past and just wish that they could forget about
    it, but they can't. The cast is flat-out incredible (except for Laura
    Linney, who I thought could have done better). Sean Penn and Tim
    Robbins provide convincing, uncompromising characters. Kevin Bacon, as
    always, does just as well. The only negative to this wonderful mystery
    thriller is certain unbelievable characters such as the Savage
    brothers. That, however, is not really JUST my place to decide. Still,
    I believe this should have been the Best Picture winner in place of
    LOTR 3. Don't get me wrong the Return of the King was fantastic, but it
    still didn't top this. Many people seem to complain about the ending
    and all I can say (because I don't want to give away anything) is that
    it would have been almost betrayal for Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) to act
    against Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn) for what he did (in his own mind).
    Also Devine implied he would eventually "get" Markum. I just wanted to
    stop the naysayers here and now. Go see this regardless of whether
    seeing it already because those who have seen it may enjoy it upon
    second viewing, like in my case with "Iron Man." 9.5/10 stars

  • A very mysterious mystic river

    The film opens with three childhood friends, Jimmy Markum, Sean Devine,
    and Dave Boyle. In the summer of 1975, these young boys were on the
    streets of Boston playing some hockey, when a few older guys came and
    abducted Dave. He became a victim of sexual abuse for a few days until
    he escaped. Still haunted by the past, Dave becomes a main victim in
    the case of Katie's death. Reunited after the death of jimmy's
    daughter, Katie, the three friends seem to find themselves closer than
    they were before. Sean is the police detective on the case. He has to
    deal with more than just the typical case files; he has to deal with
    the victim's daughter, his old best friend.Jimmy has it sought in his head that he will find the person who had
    murdered his daughter. A few suspects come up and then get dropped,
    like her boyfriend. When they find out what gun the bullet came from,
    an old suspect returns top at the list. The police said the gun
    belonged to the boyfriend's father, who had a previous history with
    crime.This film involved a lot of brain thinking and kept you guessing who
    was the killer, the entire time. Having the film being portrayed in
    Boston also made the film to be more believable. The length of the film
    didn't come into mind at all because the story-line was so involved and
    detailed that I was completely in the zone of the film the whole time.
    I enjoyed that they made this film have a "dark" setting; this film
    would not have had that "special something" if there were vibrant
    colors all around.I did not enjoy the ending, only for the fact that everything unfolded
    very quickly and then there was about ten minutes of film after the
    story pretty much was done. There wasn't that much to not like, maybe
    change a view characteristics about some characters, they all seemed to
    be southern type of people living in the north.The actors did a great job with telling the story and sending its
    message. It made it very believable to think that things like that do
    truly exists, I just wish they didn't seem so well under educated.Overall, Mystic River was perhaps one of the top films I have seen to
    date. To me it can be comparable to The Bone Collector, which is a
    fantastic film. This was also the best film that Clint Eastwood has
    directed and he captured everything so well. If you're into movies that
    have a good mystery to it that keep you guessing all the way to the
    unfolding of who did it, then Mystic River should be your next watch.
    It has a great cast with Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, and Tim Robbins and
    these guys know how to make a film worth watching. In my eyes this
    movie deserves 9 out of 10.
