Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe situation at the opening of the movie is based on an incident when, as a child, author Dennis Lehane's mother severely reprimanded him for getting into a car with men who claimed to be plain-clothes policemen.
- GoofsAt around 5 minutes in, as the young Dave Boyle is being driven away by the pedophiles, there's a cut back to the young Jimmy and Sean standing in the street. In the background to the right, in plain view, is a modern era police car guarding the filming location.
- Quotes
Sean Devine: So Jimmy, when was the last time you saw Dave?
Jimmy Markum: The last time I saw Dave...
Sean Devine: Yeah, Dave Boyle.
Jimmy Markum: Dave Boyle...
Sean Devine: Yeah Jimmy, Dave Boyle.
Jimmy Markum: That was twenty-five years ago, going up this street, in the back of that car.
- Crazy creditsThe Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Logos at the beginning of the film are not animated. They are both colored grey and stay in the middle of the screen.

Featured review
Tightly wound drama
"Mystic River" centers on a murder investigation involving three men - all friends as boys from a Boston working class neighborhood - who have taken different directions through life. One is an excon (Penn) whose daughter was murdered. Another is the homicide investigator (Bacon) who is assigned to the case. The third is an emotionally damaged man (Robbins) who is suspect. Eastwood has imbued this novel adaptation with his signature blend of grit and humanness and created a forum for high intensity drama superbly executed by the principals, most notably Penn, who wrestle with roots, regrets, recrimination, revenge, reconciliation, and much more. With plaudits from all corners, "Mystic River" is a must see for drama junkies, fans of the players, etc. (A-)
