Horrible.
Horrible, horrible, horrible. Random plot twists, no point, tried to be over dramatic, not good.
Great Movie - Sean Pean! Clint Eastwood! Kudos
I was skeptical at first about seeing this movie; I was like "yeah there he goes again.. another actor turned director trying to show his skills eh?"
Anyways I waited till the movie was on DVD before making my move... and I must say that I was so moved by the movie that I sat and watched the screen for five minutes after the whole thing was over - "Dang! why didnt I see this in the theatre??" I said to myself.
Unlike most reviewers I did not read the book before watching the movie, but I cannot imagine the book being much better than what I experienced in the Movie. Sean Penn was incredible as Jimmy.. O my goodness, the emotions he went through were so REAL and excitingly believable - you have to understand that before watching Mystic River I had seen I Am Sam, and believe you me this guy 'Sean Penn' depicted both characters so covincingly!! I am a Sean Penn fan for LIFE!
Kudos to Clint Eastwood, dude has put together two very nice movies - I hope the next movie from him is not so sad/depressing i.e. Mystic River and Million dollar baby. That said, he put his best foot forward with this one, you simply can't go wrong with this movie - just make sure you dont move when you start the movie cos you want to savour every taste till the very END ******
Great Acting Horrible Ending
Now I don't usually care enough to write bad reviews, but this movie was just horrible. I admit, I almost cried during some of the dramatic scenes during the movie, particularly the beginning. But after awhile, as the case was being uncovered peace by peace, I found myself just wishing to fast foward to the end. This movie was really drawn out, and had a hard time keeping my attention with its repetitive parts. The acting was wonderful, but the ending was atrocious. Justice was most definitely not served and basically told us that life stinks, and you just have deal with it. It isn't a movie I would watch more than once.
