Eastwood 's deep drama

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2012)

Clint Eastwood has directed a deeply emotional and shattering crime mystery which will stay with you long after the closing credits finish. Three boys growing up in Boston are playing in the streets when one of them, Dave(Tim Robbins) is abducted and sexually abused.
Twenty five years later, the second of the now grown up boys, Jimmy(Sean Penn) is an ex-con running a store and the third one, Sean(Kevin Bacon) is now a detective. A girl is murdered and due to his bloody hand, Dave is considered a prime suspect in the case.
Sean proceeds to investigate his old childhood buddy and after unfortunate twists and turns, the climax is one of the most memorable that I have ever seen. Eastwood has made a truly great movie.
