Mystic River (2003)

Eastwood assembled a great cast for this moody drama about three kids whose lives are forever connected due to an event in their past. Years later they are reunited in the same place. The acting is wonderful, and it was a joy to see something with old-school filmmaking values not reliant on modern camera trickery, but the story does drag on a bit at times.

Love this film.

I love Dennis Lehane adaptations anyways. Always moody and slow burning.
