We saw this one last Monday. I have wrestled with this movie for most of the time. It keeped us completely involved - there was no one moving in the theater for the whole time. The performances are unbelieveable - some of the best this year. The directing by Eastwood is great. If you thought Unforgiven was tough - this one may be one step beyond it!
But if you want a movie that takes you away into make believe this is not it. And like Tinkerbell said it is not for children. It is an adult film that has the ability to walk out of the theater with you and make you think about the film!
Mystic River will make my top 10 for the year - it may even come in the top 3 but it is indeed a movie with some harshness, darkness, and tough story telling!
