Clint Eastwood's best film Since Unforgiven

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2003)

Mystic River is a real though provoking film that not only sheds light on the nature of revenge and grief, but shows the aftermath of both with a sharp poignancy that is heartbreaking and haunting. This is Clint Eastwoods best movie since Unforgiven, and his most powerful. Sean Penn is amazing, and if he does not get an Oscar nomination for his gut retching role, then there is something wrong in this world. Kudos To Kevin Bacon, Laurence Fishburn, Tim Robbins and for great supporting roles and you have one of the best movies of the year.
