Mystic River—excellently
directed by Clint Eastwood—stands as one of his best movies since the 2014
release of Jersey Boys. This movie
won Sean Penn the 76th Academy award for Best Actor and Tim Robbins
the Best Supporting Actor award. The film is well written and well told.
Storyline
Tragic
childhood events follow three men into adulthood for a final resolution.

Yes.
This film does not play down its subject matter. It’s a classic tale worth both
your time and money. The acting stands as among the best. It serves the late
teen/adult audience.
