With the 511th Overall pick
The All Or Nuttin team is proud to select in the "
Wildcard #4" category, a movie directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Sean Penn (Oscar for a leading role), Tim Robbins (Oscar for a supporting role) and Kevin Bacon,
Mystic River.
Roger Ebert gives this movie 4 stars:
Clint Eastwood's "Mystic River" is a dark, ominous brooding about a crime in the present that is emotionally linked to a crime in the past. It involves three boyhood friends in an Irish neighborhood of Boston, who were forever marked when one of them was captured by a child molester; as adults, their lives have settled into uneasy routines that are interrupted by the latest tragedy. Written by Brian Helgeland, based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, the movie uses a group of gifted actors who are able to find true human emotion in a story that could have been a whodunit, but looks too deeply and evokes too much honest pain.
