This film IS pressure, temptation, collapse carefully dragging the viewer where you know you don't wanna go, but secretly can't help needing to find out the truth from the Truthteller, and you know you're gonna get the real magillah. Ugly, icky, and at times disturbingly stimulating. A+ The film was just brilliant. It really nearly broke my heart. Every performance is perfect. The direction by Ang Lee is deliberate and painful as he slices into you with the lives of those he makes you watch

And you aren't just sayin that becuase of a possible Ang bias that you may have? LOL

Ok so I watched Mystic River and LOVED it! Tim Robbins and Marcia Gay Harden definitely stood out the most to me. I've never been impressed with Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon was Kevin Bacon. The end was pretty incredible. Didn't see it coming at all. Eastwood's second best (after Million Dollar Baby) IMO! And it also helped prove my previous opinion that Clint Eastwood is a much better director then he is actor...again IMO! Don't get me wrong...he can act...but I think he is more talented behind the camera then in front...

OMG, this movie is in my top ten of all-time favorites! So tragic, so intense, to have three of the best actors in ONE movie is almost too much to bear!
