(1205 240 500) 715 930 Times For 10/24 - 10/26 ©2003 T he tragedy of Clint Eastwood’s sobering drama doesn’t lie in the character flaws or vulnerabilities of any one individual but rather in the personal and societal fallout of one moment in the lives of three stickball players in a hard Boston neighborhood. From this initial en- counter on, complicity affects the behavior and beliefs of the three boys, and later their wives, children and their neighbors. The pivotal scene takes place in a resi- dential city neighborhood, where kids play in the street, and few cars pass. Young Jimmy (Jason Kelly), Dave (Cameron Bowen) and Sean (Connor Paolo) lose their ball down a sewer opening, which ends their game. But Jimmy discovers a patched sidewalk still wet enough to write in, and signs his name. So does Sean, then Dave. A burly man with a badge gets out of a dark car and threatens to turn them in to their fathers. He quickly sizes up the boys — Jimmy, the ringleader and trouble maker; Sean, the follower; and Dave, the good boy. When the car drives away, Dave is in the backseat of the car. The subtle awareness dawns on the remaining boys that something is not right. It is a moment none of them will ever forget. Fast forward 25 years to 1975, and Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn) lives in the neighborhood and runs a grocery store. He’s married to Annabeth (Laura Linney), and they have two girls and Jimmy’s 19-year-old daughter by a former marriage, Katie (Emmy Rossum). Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins) also lives in the old neighborhood. He’s married to Celeste (Marcia Gay Harden). Dave walks their son, Michael (Cayden Boyd), to his school bus everyday. Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon) has become a state policeman working homicides. His preg- nant wife, Lauren (Tory Davis), left him re- cently. But she calls, not to say anything, but just to wait. For what, Sean can’t understand. When a terrible crime is discovered in the neighborhood, all three men once again find their lives interwoven in ways none of them expected. Sean’s partner, Whitey Powers (Laurence Fishburne), helps pursue the leads. Brian Helgeland’s tight script adapted by Dennis Lehane’s best seller does justice to the sense of place so integral to the unfolding of the crime that takes place in this Irish Catholic Boston neighborhood.. Layered and textured with outstanding performances, the film shows Eastwood’s di- rectorial brilliance is as vital as his vision is clear. The press buzzes about Eastwood’s Dirty Harry character, the ruthless enforcers and violent men he played in so many spaghetti Westerns. Now, critics say, Eastwood sympathizes with the victims of crime instead of glorifying the killers, and this film is his apology to the public. Whatever. Eastwood paid his dues — he’s made films for nearly 50 years — and now he makes films he admires. This is masterful work, and Eastwood’s minimalist approach and emotional restraint serve every scene in the film. It also serves the actors. Penn’s naturalis- tic work in this film expresses the emotional growth in his professional and personal life. He’s always been an instinctive actor, but here he tamps down all excess to bring up the more tangled feelings of this smart, trapped man. Jimmy is Penn’s finest characterization so far. Robbins burrows deep into Dave’s convo- luted soul and brings to life a troubled man whose emotional distress not only cripples him but also alienates his wife. Robbins also reaches the innocent within Dave, the one who still trusts and believes. Fishburne, who is the film’s clear-eyed outsider, and Bacon, who is caught by the past, give terrific performances. Harden and Linney, who play cousins, are women who hold the community together when tragedy strikes. But Harden’s Celeste is unnerved; she’s skittish and easily upset. Linney’s Annabeth is ambitious and cool, even in the face of loss. Although Katie has few scenes, Rossum leaves a strong impression on the viewer. The best film of 2003 so far, Mystic River plays at Cinema World and Cinemark. Very highest recommendations. ew
