Mystic River

Posted by: Luna on Wednesday, October 15th, 2003

Starring: Sean Penn (Jimmy), Tim Robbins (Dave), Kevin Bacon (Sean), Laurence Fishburne (Sgt. Whitey Powers), Marcia Gay Harden (Celeste), Laura Linney (Annabeth)

Jimmy confronts Dave about his daughter’s murder. Dave admits he had killed someone that night, but it was a pedophile, not Katie. Jimmy, who doesn’t believe Dave, forces him to admit to Katie’s murder. When Dave does admit it (though he really hadn’t killed her), Jimmy kills him. Meanwhile, Sean catches Katie’s real killers. It was Silent Ray Harris (Spencer Treat Clark)-Katie’s boyfriend’s brother-and his friend. Sean tells Jimmy he caught the killers. Jimmy tells him it was too late and Sean figures out what he had done to Dave, but does not arrest him.

Personal comments about this movie?
Top-notch acting by Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Kevin Bacon. I’m glad Sean Penn and Tim Robbins got the Oscars. One of the most emotional films I’ve seen as 3 boys’ friendship comes to an end after a traumatic event happens to one of them. As men, they are reunited after another tragic event occurs. The ending is one that will not be forgotten. I liked how it wasn’t a Hollywood film with a typical Hollywood ending. It’s brutal and takes a honest look at how tragic events affected each of the men…One of the best movies ever.
