An intense & thought provoking entertainer!

Rating: 9/10 (14 May 2012)

Oh my my, what a screen presence, Sean Penn! Emotionally shattering performance! Tim Robbins who won an Oscar too for this movie leaves his mark in a haunting and brooding performance. Kevin Bacon looks compelling too.
'Mystic River' is pure powerhouse entertainment. The last scene between Laura Linney and Sean Penn is bound to strike you in the chest post the mystery is unfolded.
Stylish and emotional, "Mystic River" is one of the modern day crime classics. One more thought provoking and intense film to Eastwood's credentials.
Must watch. It should not be missed for it's thrill, power, suspense, tragedy and emotion.
