When they were kids growing up together in a rough section of Boston, Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn), Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins) and Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) spent their days playing stickball on the street, the way most boys did in their blue-collar neighborhood of East Buckingham. Nothing much ever happened in their neighborhood. That is, until Dave was forced to take the ride that would change all of their lives forever. Twenty-five years later, the three find themselves thrust back together by another life altering event – the murder of Jimmy’s 19-year-old daughter. Now a cop, Sean is assigned to the case and he and his partner (Laurence Fishburne) are charged with unraveling the seemingly senseless crime. They must also stay one step ahead of Jimmy, a man driven by an all consuming rage to find his daughter’s killer. Connected to the crime by a series of circumstances, Dave is forced to confront the demons of his own past. Demons that threaten to destroy his marriage and any hope he may have for a future. As the investigation tightens around these three friends, an ominous story unfolds that revolves around friendship, family and innocence lost too soon.

Mystic
River
Leonard Klady: The good, bad and ugly of filmmaker Clint Eastwood is in full evidence in Mystic River, a cat's cradle of a police procedural that ripples with the traumatic personal histories of its main characters. David Poland: It’s a movie that somehow feels like you are supposed to walk out of the theater and see your own breath in the cold air, walking down the street of a big eastern city, desperate for a good cup of coffee and a piece of pie… just letting it all settle in. Ray Pride: At 73, making his twenty-fourth feature, Eastwood's no-nonsense, no-frills visual style is at its most refined. Perhaps it is not elegant, but it is streamlined. It's the kind of movie that age and experience should permit you to make.
