Mystic River opens in a dreary lower middle-class suburb of Boston in the 1970s, where 3 young friends, Jimmy, Sean and Dave are killing time just being boys, playing street hockey and getting up to minor mischief. 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.
Jimmy, 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.
It is a gripping drama about people under pressure, and who to trust and those not to.
The 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.)
Mystic River is not a nice movie, it touches on very dark issues and at times is a little sickening.
However, it is an absorbing whodunnit tale where things are not necessarily as they seem.
BRILLIANT - A MUST SEE!!
