Thomas Butt is a senior writer at Collider who focuses on classic movies.
The Big Picture Unshakable trauma sits at the heart of Mystic River, the bleak psychological drama/thriller that amassed mass acclaim from critics and awards bodies in 2003. With the principal creative figures involved, director Clint Eastwood, writer Brian Helgeland, and stars Sean Penn and Tim Robbins, the film was destined for prestigious adoration.
Release Date January 1, 2003 Director Clint Eastwood Cast Sean Penn , Tim Robbins , Kevin Bacon , Laurence Fishburne , Marcia Gay Harden , Laura Linney Runtime 138 What Is Clint Eastwood's 'Mystic River' About? Mystic River, based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, centers around the murder of a 19-year-old girl in Boston, Katie Markum , which reunites three childhood friends: Jimmy Markum , Dave Boyle , and Sean Devine .
Kevin Bacon's Character Grounds 'Mystic River' in Reality Close Kevin Bacon does not indulge in any Oscar-bait monologues or emotional breakdowns, making him feel like he belongs to a different movie at times. Bacon, who has played enough Boston-based law enforcement officers set to be mistaken as a city native, captures the blue-collar weariness associated with the region. Sean hardly raises his voice, evoking a "been there, done that" mentality during the investigation.
