DVD Reviews of Mystic River (Three-Disc Collector's Edition)
DVD Review: Mystic River rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great film! Loved the special features, and it arrived in perfect condition--within a week!DVD Review: Appalling Conclusion
Summary: 2 Stars
The review below was posted by another user, but sums up my feelings toward this film exactly.
I found this film mildly gripping until the last act, and then I was sickened. Perhaps I was more sympathetic to Tim Robbins' character's sincere efforts to control his urges than I was to Sean Penn's manic rages, but one need not be conflicted to sense that something is morally and ethically amiss. There is never really any doubt (at least for the audience) of Dave Boyle's innocence of the murder of Jimmy Marcus's daughter, yet Marcus' thuggish character over-rides any such concerns. Marcus coerces a "confession" from Boyle after telling him he will let him live, and then once Marcus' pre-conceived notion is thus confirmed, he kills Boyle anyways. Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) shows up just in time to tell Marcus that he has killed an innocent man, and Marcus' reaction can be summed as a "so what." The end of the film doesn't ask any gray moral or ethical questions--quite the contrary. Devine and Marcus wave and smile at each other, as if justice was served--the daughter was an innocent, Boyle was innocent, and they're both dead. It all "evens out" in some warped way. The pathetic Celeste (Marcia Gay Harden) the only person who apparently cared if Boyle lived or died, is left unnoticed and marginalized. The last ten minutes of the film, thus, makes what transpired before filmmaking mendacity.
What exactly was the message Clint Eastwood was trying to convey here? The only one that makes sense to me is Dirty Harry-type vigilantism where colateral damage is a fact of life is acceptible under certain situations. I, frankly, find such reasoning appalling.
DVD Review: Excellent Performances by a Superb Ensemble Cast
Summary: 5 Stars
Clint Eastwood has created a memorable tale of the consequences of the choices we make in life. Sean Penn's Jimmy Markum is unforgettably portrayed as a man whose chickens have come home to roost when his beloved daughter goes missing. Excellent performances from Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon, Laura Linney, Tim Robbins, Laurence Fishburn, and Marcia Gay Harden. Emily Rossum is haunting as Jimmy's eldest and beloved daughter. Clint is a master story teller and this is one of the best movies that had made in the last 20 years. Sean, and Tim both deserved their Oscars. Laura Linney and Kevin Bacon should have been recognized for their outstanding work too. Great movie !!! Do not miss it... DVD Review: mystic river

had to keep your mind onto the movie or it didn't make too much senseDVD Review: what a piece of ****
Summary: 2 Stars
totally over the top. zillions of great actors attracted to a highly flawed project by a big name who does a terrible job directing. don't believe me? watch it yourself. be my guest. but better not to.
serendipidous trailer: "if you are enjoying this, you will love 'fargo'". In math we call such statements true by vacuous hypothesis, i.e. a false assumption impiies anything.

Superior acting, writing, and direction are on impressive display in the critically acclaimed Mystic River, Clint Eastwood's 24th directorial outing and one of the finest films of 2003. Sharply adapted by L.A. Confidential Oscar-winner Brian Helgeland from the novel by Dennis Lehane, this chilling mystery revolves around three boyhood friends in working-class Boston--played as adults by Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, and Kevin Bacon--drawn together by a crime from the past and a murder (of the Penn character's 19-year-old daughter) in the present. These dual tragedies arouse a vicious cycle of suspicion, guilt, and repressed anxieties, primed to explode with devastating and unpredictable results. Eastwood is perfectly in tune with this brooding material, giving his flawless cast (including Laura Linney, Marcia Gay Harden and Laurence Fishburne) ample opportunity to plumb the depths of a resonant human tragedy, leading to an ambiguous ending that qualifies Mystic River for contemporary classic status. --Jeff Shannon
