Eastwood Classic

In the wave of instant classics directed by Clint Eastwood, this may have been his best. I originally put this movie off my list to watch mainly because I felt it was one of those films that I "had to be in the mood" to watch. Man was I wrong. As much as it is dark, Mystic River tells so powerful a story, I could not help but wonder why I had waited so long to see it. Sean Penn turns in another amazing performance as this one was truly deserving of all the accolades that came during the award season.
