Excellent Performances - Mystic River review by CP Customer
Sean Penn and Tim Robbins soundly deserved their Oscars for their roles in this long, compelling story of childhood demons resurfacing in adulthood. Clint Eastwood directs this film with typical attention to detail, creating a strong sense of reality that at times can be hard to bear.

Excellent Movie - Mystic River review by CP Customer
Got to admit I'd never heard of this before I came across it here and what an excellent movie! A story that keeps you enthralled from start to finish and moves along at a good pace. Great performances from Tim Robbins, Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon - in fact the whole cast should be proud of their performances in this one. You really should see this movie, it really is that good.

An excellent film but an unsatisfactory end in my view - Mystic River review by Philip in Paradiso
This is a very good film, with a dark, brooding atmosphere -- a social drama that is also a thriller, re-creating very well the atmosphere in a poor working-class district of Boston.
However, I found one specific aspect of the movie implausible. This does not really affect the quality of the film but prevents it from 'working' 100%. Without divulging the ending and the plot, I can only say that I was left unconvinced, at the very end, by the resolution that we are presented with in relation to the central mystery at the heart of the film.
I would still recommend this film for its tension, suspense, atmosphere, and acting.
