Mystic River' is a riveting murder mystery, but it is also a character drama of the highest order, filled with emotional intensity. Brian Helgeland creates an intelligent, insightful screenplay, adapted from the novel by Dennis Lehane, and coupled with wonderful acting and Eastwood's assured direction, 'Mystic River' is a real treat, and resonates with you after you have seen it. ...
