Sinopsis(1)
Cuando Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn), Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins) y Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) eran niños que crecían juntos en un peligroso distrito de Boston, pasaban los días jugando al béisbol en la calle, al igual que lo hacían muchos otros niños en el barrio obrero de East Buckingham, donde vivían. No sucedía nada importante en su barrio. Hasta que Dave se vio obligado a tomar un rumbo que cambiaría las vidas de todos ellos para siempre. Veinticinco años más tarde, los tres se vuelven a encontrar por otro acontecimiento de gran trascendencia: el asesinato de la hija de 19 años de Jimmy. A Sean, que se ha hecho policía, le asignan el caso y junto a su compañero (Laurence Fishburne) recibe el encargo de desenredar este crimen aparentemente sin sentido. También tienen que estar muy pendientes de Jimmy, furioso por encontrar al asesino de su hija. Dave, relacionado con el crimen por una serie de circunstancias, se ve obligado a enfrentarse a los demonios de su propio pasado. Demonios que amenazan con destruir su matrimonio y cualquier esperanza que pueda tener para el futuro. A medida que la investigación se estrecha alrededor de estos tres amigos, se desarrolla un inquietante relato que trata de la amistad, la familia y la inocencia perdida demasiado prematuramente.

Mystic River es un oscuro drama policíaco repleto de íntimos estudios de personajes. Una película lenta, tranquila, coloreada con un mínimo de música, que definitivamente no es un subidón de adrenalina, sino un serio drama humano, al final quizás incluso más fuerte en términos de ideas que Un mundo perfecto. Una película visualmente sencilla, que se apoya principalmente en los actores y el montaje. Las tijeras podrían haber sido más activas, pero los actores la salvan.

A very impressive work that has artfully combined the virtues of psychological drama and detective story, with the blending of the two genres in a very gritty finale being one of the greatest pros of Eastwood's film. The first part feels rather clumsy and takes on revolutions more than laboriously, but in the end, thanks mainly to Sean Penn, the narrative engine kicks in successfully, and as the minutes progress, Mystic River becomes a truly magnetizing spectacle, which, while not surprisingly deep in storytelling or extremely masterful direction, amounts to only honest and interesting narratives, great acting performances and emotional moments. The strength of the story lies primarily in the central three-petal, in the internal dilemmas and scars that protagonists have carried with them since childhood and which influence their actions... Unbalanced, but excellent.

Mysterious, intriguing and suspenseful! Mystic River is the best thriller driven whodunit I've ever seen. The story is perfect and the twists and turns and frequent plot changes make it much more unpredictable. Sean Penn delivers the ultimate acting performance, this guy goes instantly into my favorite actors, i love him! The rest of the cast also deserves praise for a job well done, especially the duo of detectives played by Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne. A polished, atmospheric diamond that left me almost breathless! 100%

Thanks to Sean Penn's performance (and not just in the formally perfect scene of finding the victim), the film is better than it would have been without him. The crime story mixed with a heartrending drama holds up more than solidly until the finale, which unexpectedly escalates minute by minute and pulls many surprises on the viewer. Although you won't figure out until the final what that river is doing in the title, the atmosphere thus far collapses in that instant.

It's not satisfying as a classic crime drama, but it is as a psychological drama. The film flows at the slow pace of a lazy river, there are no camera exhibitions, Clint directs artfully, giving a lot of space to actors who can show a lot of their range, and that's how I like it. Tim Robbins in particular dominates the performances, and here the Oscar is in the right hands. On the other hand, I would question the second award-winning actor, because Sean Penn, in truth, overacts in places. The intelligently written story manages to draw you in and not let go, although there are a few distracting elements, namely, the wife's strange silent phone calls to Detective Devin (played convincingly by Kevin Bacon), which have no connection to the plot and take it nowhere, and the poor symbolism in Robbins' character's reasoning – I didn't get the "vampires" (= pedophiles?) thing. Nevertheless, great satisfaction, also thanks to the unconventionally closed story. They don’t make many films like this in Hollywood today.
