Movie Review No. 3
Mystic River (rating: 3)
Thanks to many critics' reviews and Clint Eastwood, I overexpected this movie. Story is kind of interesting and Sean Penn is cool, but it could have been better. In fact, it's too depressing, too long, and too confusing.
There are 3 main characters + their wives. Those 3 guys grew up together. One day, guy A's daughter was found dead. Guy B, who was now a cop, got in charge of the murder case. Guy C then became a suspect. See, it's already complicated enough! In addition, each of their wives and their past got deeply or ambiguously involved.
I think this movie would be darker if it were not for Laurence Fishburne, who made it bit funny (Morpheus!). Considering that this movie looks based on some good book I have never heard of, reading this book might make this movie more interesting. By the way, I don't like this ending.
