Spoiler Alerts: Amazing Acting and extremely disturbing subject matter

Rating: 2/10 (4 March 2019)

SPOILER ALERTS and Strong personal opinion alert:
1. Clint Eastwood is an phenomenal director. Period.
2. The acting is superb
3. I have not read the book and I plan to and then give the film a second chance.
4. Here is my issue as I found the abduction / rape of the childhood character of Tim Robbins to be a disturbing yet important part of the film. What really disturbed me is how that horrific experience that changed his life would end up having him murdered by his childhood friend. Anyone who has seen the film knows exactly what I am referring to. I just felt like I needed to take a shower after watching the film I felt like it was "no big deal" that the damaged and innocent Tim Robbins character was mistaken as a murderer and basically beat into a confession.
5. It is the subject matter of how someone who is horrifically abused as a child to basically go thru horrific terror right before they die as an adult and be innocent.
6. It is the subject matter that when the truth comes out it is treated as "you did what you thought was right at the time". I found that to be horrific and very disturbing.
