Directed by Clint Eastwood, the mysterious drama Mystic River is based on the novel by Dennis Lehane and adapted by screenwriter Brian Helgeland. Set in an Irish neighborhood in Boston, Jimmy, Sean, and Dave are three childhood friends who are reunited after a brutal murder takes place. Reformed convict Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn) and his devoted wife Annabeth (Laura Linney) find out that their teenage daughter Katie (Emmy Rossum) has been beaten and killed. Jimmy's old friend Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) is the homicide detective assigned to the case, along with partner Whitey Powers (Laurence Fishburne). Jimmy also gets his relatives, the Savage brothers (Adam Nelson and Robert Wahlberg), to conduct an investigation of their own. Jimmy and Sean both start to suspect their old pal, Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins), who lives a quiet life with his wife Celeste (Marcia Gay Harden) but harbors some disturbing secrets. Clint Eastwood won a Golden Coach for Mystic River at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival.

Sean Penn acted in his greatest performance deserving of his Oscar for Best Actor. You felt his emotion when he finds out about his daughter. I started weeping durring that scene. A great movie directed by the one and only Clint Eastwood a legend.

I love this movie! It's definitely a great dramatic thriller with a twist! It's directed by Clint Eastwood so you know it's going to be a great movie! I love how it shows you pieces and then you put them together then it all makes sense! The lesson is don't assume anything in life.

I saw this movie before I read the book, so I had absolutely no idea as to what to expect. Once the suspense got going, I was practically on the edge of my seat through the entire thing. Excellent movie. One of Eastwood's best.
