Gulp... Wow?

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2004)

This movie shocked the hell out of me. The brutal realism combined with fabulous acting, make this movie one of the most memorable I have seen in a long time. The story is not pretty, and Eastwood makes no effort to sugar-coat anything, but this is what makes the movie so perfect. Mystic River will leave you in shock, but after you recover you will be deeply grateful that you saw it.
