Review of Mystic River (2003) by Lea L — 28 Jun 2011
Mystic River - We bury our sins, we wash them clean..
During a summer in 1975, Dave Boyle and two friends, Jimmy and Sean, are playing on a sidewalk in Boston when Dave is abducted by two men and subjected to sexual abuse over a period of several days. Eventually escaping, but haunted into adulthood by his trauma, Dave becomes a primary suspect when Jimmy's daughter, Katie, is found murdered. Sean, assigned to investigate the crime, finds himself facing both demons from the past and demons in the present as the circumstances surrounding Katie's death are uncovered..
Such an amazing movie. Brilliant performances by Penn, Bacon and Robbins.. Eastwood has given the audience a very dark film in which every actor delivers an essentially awesome part to make the whole soulful and captivating..
