Twenty-five years later the trio meet again as adults and
this time the tragedy is again all too real.
Jimmy, who has become a local heavy, has discovered his daughter
is missing and his old friend Sean is there as part of the
investigation. When her body is found Jimmy takes it upon
himself to find out who did the deed and steamrolls ahead
despite advice to leave it to the police.
Mystic River is a gripping drama about people under pressure,
and who to trust and those not to.
The lead actors are simply outstanding - hence the Oscars
for Penn, Robbins and Marcia Gay Harden. Laurence Fishburne
plays a terrific role as the chief investigator and Bacon's
understated performance is one of his best.
Mystic River is not a nice movie, it touches on very dark
issues and at times is a little sickening.
However, it is an absorbing whodunnit tale where things are
not necessarily as they seem.
A must-see.
