Are you going to see Mystic River?
 

The cast seems pretty solid...

Sean Penn .... Jimmy
Tim Robbins .... Dave
Kevin Bacon .... Sean
Laurence Fishburne .... Whitey


I think they picked the perfect person to play Jimmy, but I think I would have rather seen Robbins and Bacon switch roles.

I have my reserves on this one because I think Clint Eastwood bungled Blood Work, but I'm willing to give him another chance. :)

Tell me that's not how you envisioned Jimmy. :)

Well, the advance word on the movie is excellent so I might be interested, but I agree with you that Eastwood's last few directorial outings have left a lot to be desired. Maybe this will be his return to form finally.

Absoluetly!

:up:

I just read the book last month and I'd say it's one of the best books I've ever read, so I am dying with anticipation to see the film. I agree, Sean Penn looks like Jimmy. But I don't see Tim Robbins as Dave at all.

I'll certainly be seeing it. From what i've heard it's received very good reviews and I agree that Sean Penn is perfect for Jimmy. I can see Tim Robbins being able to pull off Dave or at least that type of character but I have doubts about Kevin Bacon playing Sean. But who knows how much the characters in the movie will resemble the ones in the book.
