The fact is that this movie is just slow and unappealing.. it just drags on pointlessly and you would not feel like watching it again.
Contrast this to one the greatest thrillers of all - the usual suspects - a movie which is so appealing, so challenging, so brilliant, you just have to watch it several times...
But hey! in fairness, we cannot compare this 'movie' to the usual suspects. In this flick, there are WAY too many questions unanswered, illogical things happening, co-incidents and worst of all, no real ending! I mean movies are supposed to entertain, keep us thinking, leave us on the edge of our seat.. but none of that here... How can the producer/director just end the movie and let us think what would have happened.. the script writer is supposed to come up with the ending and the producer needs to show it to us... if we are the ones left to do it, then why are those guys sitting there.
Lots of reviewers have already written about the illogical plot and the series of events that prove the statement.. I suggest you also take a look at that... it's almost.. well.. funny! Yeah, that's right funny, laugh about it..
So the bottom line is that this is not a movie that the smart ones will enjoy... the smart ones need a movie that is skillful and challenges the wits.. Mystic River, sadly, does not come anywhere close.
