Mystic River
has many parts to it, a film I could enjoy seeing twice.
I enjoyed the experience of being caught
up in a movie and the lives of the people. It takes you places
completely unexpected through twists and turns.
Feeling both shattered and completely spellbound,
our pro-director Clint Eastwood knows how to put a top-notch
cast of award-winning actors together and keep the customer satisfied.
It's a rare thing, I've heard more than
once, when you can make a movie better than the book.
It's a rare treat, so don't miss this one. |
When it comes to exploring the human drama,
Clint Eastwood really knows how to pick a script.
This story, about three men who have known
each other since childhood, has an added layer of psychological
depth brought out slowly through character development and a
recent trauma.
It's a thoughtful study of relationships:
how they can grow and how they can change, and in Eastwood's
hands, it's a portrait of human frailty painted by a master. |
I liked Clint Eastwood's straightforward,
unpatterned style of storytelling.
This is a powerful film of crime, guilt,
and punishment, but the real force of the movie is what is underneath
the story: the hearts and soul of the characters, which are daring
and carefully erected and completed by the outstanding cast.
The picture is about more than outrage;
it's about family, loyalty, and about choice options that are
not what you expected. |
