Mystic River Review

Mystic River is an incredibly acted and directed movie. Sean Penn, as always gives an outstanding performance as a father who's daughter was brutally murdered and Tim Robbins is superb as a man who suffered a horrible & inexplicable experience as a child. Kevin Bacon also gives a strong performance as a detective. All three were friends in childhood but grew apart after Robbins' character's experience. Clint Eastwood does an excellent job blending a powerful drama with a intricate murder mystery. It is a movie about murder, revenge, abuse, karma, and sin, and among very good movies of all times. It actually tells the different phase of life of three different personality and how they act and cope up under situations. Well a very hard work.

But if one has read the book before that I suggest to ignore this movie, all you will get is disappointment.

Thank you.
