Review of Mystic River (2003) by Exking — 29 Nov 2013

You can sum up Mystic River by two things only, weird and far away from reality.

I mean it's like watching a movie by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Because everything that the characters do in this movie is the exact opposite from what people do in these types of situations.

My point is you can't relate to these characters actions at all. a man just told his wife that he killed the wrong guy, and the wife tell him, "that what kings do", WHAT.

And the innocent man who got killed confessed about a crime he didn't commit for no obvious reason, and the people who actually did the murder have no motive at all.

And it's keep getting weirder and weirder to the point that you keep scratching your head after the movie ends.

I mean seriously Clint Eastwood.

And I can't understand why Tim Robbins nabbed an Oscar for best actor, all what he ever did was few face expressions and 4 or 5 lines.

And Clint Eastwood stretched some scenes way too much so you can relate to the performances but it was iffy and cold for all of them.
