Mystic River2003

Clint Eastwood pours everything he knows about directing into Mystic River. His film sneaks up, messes with your head and then floors you. You can't shake it. It's that haunting, that hypnotic.

冗长，拖沓，两个多小时，影片反复强调戴夫小时候被性侵这件事情对人命运的改变反而显得太过刻意 。办案过程中不应该寻找最先发现犯罪现场的人也就是报案人吗？怎么调查了那么多人偏偏漏掉了他们，就为了拖到戴夫被杀？而戴夫这杀人手法藏尸手法都及其拙劣的人居然拖到自己被人误杀了还没被警察发现，这样的安排是不是有点太“剧情需要”了？

Mystic River is the rare American movie that aspires to -- and achieves -- the full weight and darkness of tragedy.
