This movie is overrated

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2004)

SPOILER ALERT!!! I was used only to read the comments, but in this case I will do an exception. Yesterday evening I went to the cinema with a friend to watch this movie and I was full of expectation. You know, a good rate in imdb is always a good hint to decide which movie to see. But this time I was disappointed. After the first 20 minutes it was clear that Dave (Tim Robbins) was not the murderer and I took 5 more minutes to realize that the mute brother of the boyfriend was the guilty. Ok, the movie is nice with great interpretation of the actors. Especially, Tim Robbins is great and should deserve an oscar for his act. Also Sean Penn is really fine, but I liked more Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carrabean, if I have to decide. Overall Mystic River is a movie to see, well described, with great actors. If you're used to see police movie , you can figure out easily the plot and how it is going to end. This lowers my rate. My final vote is 7/10 but it's not a mustsee.
