Mystic River

CrimeDramaMysteryThriller138 min

When Jimmy Markum’s teenage daughter is found murdered in working-class Boston, three childhood friends are pulled back into one another’s lives by grief, suspicion, and a trauma that began years earlier. Sean Penn is Jimmy, a neighborhood tough turned family man, while Tim Robbins’s David Boyle — scarred by a childhood abduction — quickly draws attention as a suspect. As detective Sean Devine investigates the case, Clint Eastwood keeps the story close to the block: old loyalties, strained marriages, and the way a single killing reopens wounds that never fully closed.
