Clint Eastwood is best known for westerns, but he made one of the greatest murder mysteries ever.
All apologies to John Wayne, but Clint Eastwood is easily the most recognizable and influential person involved in the development of Western films. Many would cite his starring role as “The Man With No Name” in Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly as the performance that single-handedly made “Spaghetti Westerns” cool on an international scale.
Mystic River feels like an anomaly within Eastwood’s filmography. While he often directs Westerns, action thrillers, biopics, and military dramas, an intimate detective story is fairly unique, particularly due to the way he chooses to frame it.
There’s an equal amount of delicacy in the way that Eastwood introduces the characters 25 years later. While the scenes with the child actors are brief, they give a hint of the three men’s distinctions; Jimmy is a bit of a rogue and lacking in empathy, Jimmy is the grounded peacekeeper, and Dave is the outsider.
