Watching this film again is very depressing, it points directly to the heart of people. Everyone has a situation like Dave's and walks into that car and something bad happens that changes the course of your life. Yes, there will always be things you don't want and don't want, and sometimes you may not be able to get out of it for the rest of your life.
This film shocked me a lot. On the one hand, Dave's whole life was completely changed because of that incident. As he said, since he was sexually assaulted, Dave has died. On the other hand, Jimmy avenged his daughter and killed the wrong person. This is not just or unjust. If I were Jimmy, what would I do? Maybe my choice will be the same as Jimmy. life.
Dave, Sean and Jimmy are good playmates. One day, the three were writing their names on the ground, Dave was 9 years old, two men came on the street and took Dave away. They threw little Dave into a cellar with only a sleeping bag, locked him up for four days, sexually assaulted little Dave, and Dave desperately escaped. Dave escaped and Dave died.
The three childhood friends have never met since then. Dave has always lived in the shadow of a 9-year-old and hated pedophiles immensely. Jimmy, who committed crimes when he was young, is now rehabilitated and runs a supermarket. Sean becomes a police officer and has a fight with his wife. Jimmy's eldest daughter Kate was brutally murdered. Sean and his partner were in charge of the case. Jimmy was eager to avenge his daughter and secretly searched for the criminal. Dave had seen Kate that night, and the three were instantly connected again.
With Sean's investigation, there are various signs that Dave is suspected. First, Dave did not have an alibi that night, Kate met Dave before he was killed, Dave's hand was injured, and Dave's car had a other people's blood. No matter what Dave explained, the police couldn't listen. The wife also doubted Dave, and the painful past had to be repeated.
Jimmy turned out to be a gangster. He was betrayed by his subordinate Ray, killed by Jimmy, and thrown into the Mystic River. Ray has since disappeared. Jimmy asks his subordinates to look for the murderer, and the private investigation results show that Dave is the most suspicious. Jimmy asked Dave to take Dave to the bar, and the scene of Ray was staged again. Under the temptation of Jimmy, Dave had to admit that he killed Kate. Jimmy killed Dave, by mistake.
Sean's guns and police calls found clues and found that the murderers were Kate's boyfriend Xiaolei and his companion John. By the time Jimmy was found, it was too late and tragedy struck, irreversible. This is a very sad and sad story.
