good movie/could have been better/expected more/bad ending.
Realistic and Sean Penn`s performace is exceptional. Great Movie if you`re in one of those dark deep thinking kind of moods.
One of the best movies I`ve seen this year. It`s a murder mystery but it`s also about friendship, pain, and it shows that the effects of trauma goes much further than the victim. Interesting challenging script, shows that men have a deep emotional life ...
Slow start, with a disturbing ending. Life appears to go on as usual after the killing of one of the main actors,however they almost try to justify that the killing is okay; or does Kevin Bacon leave us with the thought that one day he will get his man? What did you think?
Mystic River is the Best Film So Far this Year. An Incredible Cast!!! Sean Penn is Remarkable!
Ok , Listen to me....Go see this movie!!It is an amazing story and an all star cast and Penn SHINES!!I couldn`t take my eyes from the screen. 5 Stars!!!
crap
Mystic River is an Emotionally challenged Drama. Eastwood`s best film so far. A perfect Cast!!!
Mystic River is definately one of the years best films. The acting was superb on all levels...in particular Sean Penn`s performance....nothing but OUTSTANDING!! Tim Robbins displayed a quality of acting I haven`t seen since The Shawshank Redemption. This movie compelled me till the very end! One point to note was the ending..with such an intense and emotional film, I expected the accusers to have been more profound and equally as intensive as the film itself. A small disappointment. However, overall OSCAR worthy on many fronts...best picture, best actor (Sean Penn) and best Supporting Actor (Tim Robbins)....
I would really like to know why they call this a thriller. This is a drama if I ever seen one! Very predictable plot and too long and drawn out. Certainly not one of Eastwood`s best ones. Not terrible but certainly not terrific - just ok but I won`t be watching it a second time. I guess overall I was somewhat disappointed.
