***Evils of the past and the problems with vigilante justice*** Released in 2003 and directed by Clint Eastwood, “Mystic River” tells the story of three men from a working class neighborhood in Boston. While playing in the street as kids, one of them is abducted and sexually abused for days. As adults they’ve drifted apart. Jimmy (Sean Penn) is a reformed con who runs a successful market when his daughter is suddenly murdered (Emmy Rossum). Sean (Kevin Bacon) investigates the murder with his partner, Whitey (Laurence Fishburne), with evidence eventually pointing toward Dave (Timothy Bottoms…

Mystic River continuously outflows its poignant crime investigation through a meticulously gritty screenplay. The past haunts us. Experiences and encounters, grossly susceptible and an impressionably young age, returning viciously with psychological detriments. A naive boy that just didn’t know any better. Abducted. An unresolved mystery that manifested itself into an intricately societal Massachusetts neighbourhood, where one disturbance can erupt into a multitude of hatred from the cold concrete beneath them. A father’s daughter mercilessly murdered in the streets that he, and his two ex-…

The conclusion does I guess go in line with w…

Clint Eastwood has assembled a really strong cast here for this daring look at just how taboos are dealt with, even now, in 21st century Boston. We begin with three lads messing about with some freshly laid concrete before a police car arrives and forces "Dave" to get in the back. Nobody hears from him for four days and thereafter he is completely silent about what went on and we advance into their adulthood. "Dave" (Tim Robbins) is married to "Celeste" (Marcia Gay Harden); "Sean" (Kevin Bacon) is a cop and "Jimmy" (Sean Penn) runs a store with wife "Annabeth" (Laura Linney). They don't have m…
