A powerful film that makes you think

Rating: 8/10 (30 January 2005)

Mystic River was a powerful and perfect casted film brought to you by one of the most famous entertainers of all-time, Clint Eastwood. Academy award winners Sean Penn and Tim Robbins played perfect roles and I guess that is why you could give them those Oscars. Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne also had good roles as both cops. The script was superb and the dialouge was very crisp. I remember renting this movie and my family got to see it and I didn't. So about 6 months later, I finally got to see the movie on TV. Besides of all those positives of the movie, there were barely any negatives, but I had one and I had to say that the movie got pretty slow at times. It built up very slowly and I wanted it to go faster but other than that this is a good Clint Eastwood film and I was glad to finally see it. I recommend it.
Hedeen's Outlook: 8/10 *** B
