I was disappointed with "Mystic River." I thought that at times there needed to be more intensity in the acting, and then there were times when the acting was ridiculously over the top ( Penn at the restaurant table grimacing, Bacon's phone call at the end of the movie to name a few instances ). That has to do with direction. So I was disappointed with Clint Eastwood's direction, which is rare because I usually love his movies. This one plodded and really didn't get me.
