Mystic River is about how our lives can take dramatically disparate paths, as well as the banal coexistence of good and evil (although the movie is so understated that the 'good' seems like calm indifference, the 'evil' like a simple mistake). Three friends are accosted by a faux cop as boys, one of them kidnapped and sexually abused for four days. Some forty years later we find their lives have taken radically different directions: Jimmy (Penn) is a slick gangsterish store-owner (kind of like d ...
