One of them, Dave, is then kidnapped in front of his friends, by a pair of child molesters masquerading as plainclothes police. We then learn that he escaped from their clutches after four days of sexual abuse at their hands, but was obviously deeply scarred mentally. The film then flashes forward to the same area, but twenty-five years later when the trio meet again as adults and this time tragedy is again all too real.\u003cbr\u003eJimmy, who has become a local heavy, has discovered his daughter is missing and his old friend Sean is there as part of the investigation. When her body is found Jimmy takes it upon himself to find out who did the deed and steamrolls ahead despite advice to leave it to the police.\u003cbr\u003eIt is a gripping  drama about people under pressure, and who to trust and those not to.\u003cbr\u003eThe lead actors are simply outstanding,   Laurence Fishburne plays a terrific role as the chief investigator and Bacon's understated performance is one of his best.(The performances of Penn and Robbins garnered them the Oscars for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively.)\u003cbr\u003eMystic River is not a nice movie, it touches on very dark issues and at times is a little sickening.\u003cbr\u003eHowever, it is an absorbing whodunnit tale where things are not necessarily as they seem.\u003cbr\u003eBRILLIANT - A MUST SEE!!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXTRA FEATURES\u003cbr\u003eAudio commentary\u003cbr\u003eFeaturette: Mystic River - Beneath the Surface\u003cbr\u003eFeaturette:  Mystic River - From Page to Screen\u003cbr\u003eFeaturette: The Charlie Rose Interviews - with Clint Eastwood, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon\u003cbr\u003eTrailers\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pearls Books n Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45826208628927,"sku":"24124","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/5552\/0703\/files\/mysticriver2dvd.jpg?v=1783469830","url":"https:\/\/pearlsbooksfnq.com\/products\/24124","provider":"Pearls Books n Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
