Mystic River

Bit underwhelming given the success of this film, the first 90 minutes just felt slow and very passive. The last half hour is where it picks up immensely, but too little too late in my opinion. Sean Penn's performance was definitely solid, but in comparison to the 2004 nominees, I'm surprised he won. Tim Robbins was the standout for me personally. An okay film at best, might go up if I ever decide to rewatch it.
