I was never gonna give this movie a second thought. I was hanging out with my buddies, and their parents had rented this. We're just sittin' around, bored, looking for something to do, so we watched this; I was blown away. The powerhouse performances by our 3 leads and all the supporting roles, hoo-wee. I'm not a parent, but I can feel what Sean Penn is giving us. That Clint Eastwood really knows how to make a film.
yeah, i was the same way. they played it at the student union of my college and i went to see it because i was bored and when i went back to the dorm i told everyone how good it was.
Director Clint Eastwood's dark, superbly staged and acted drama is heartbreaking and already a classic. Sean Penn and Tim Robbins were both honored with an Oscar in 2004.
Here’s a lil Trivia Nugget: the scene when Sean Penn is being held back by the mound of cops was unscripted. He was given full control of his reaction & many on set (in uniforms) said trying to hold him back was like trying to hold a raging elephant or bull. It was done in one take with many cameras rolling at once.
That's Clint's directing style to totally give free reign to the actors. Some really big names have complained for the same reason being used to directors telling them exactly how they want a scene.
@@fionnmaccumhaill3257I was gunna say the same thing. Also, other directors shout, " ACTION " to begin a take... Clint just sits there and when he feels everything is ready he says, Ok
The 'JIMMY - SEAN - DA' on the sidewalk is so hauntingly tragic. Dave, like his name in the cement, wasn't fully there. Missing. Vanished. Taken. Dennis Lehane - who wrote the novel - writes a lot of stories about the loss of innocence. The opening scene happened to him as a child. Thankfully he escaped the car. A lot of his works have been made into great films: Gone Baby Gone, Shutter Island, The Drop. Wrote for The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, created/wrote the phenomenal series Black Bird. I recommend all.
The book was amazing, and the movie did it justice. Every single actor just killed it, even the kids. Sean Penn finding out it was his daughter was one of the most heartbreaking scenes ever. His delivery of "Is that my daughter in there!" brings me to tears every time. How you like that twist ending, though?!
Never judge a book by its cover. Tim Robbins was the star of this. Seemed like a timid broken man, until the interrogation scene, and he destroys the detectives. And he beat a man to death. Be careful, you never what’s hiding under someone’s demeanor. Great reaction, thank you
This movie is a masterclass in acting... Marcia Gay Harden's performance often gets overshadowed by the big three... But she deserved a best supporting actress award for this movie.
Interesting fact. This movie was filmed in the neighborhood I grew up in East Boston and is the exact street that two other films were made as well. One being "Blown Away" & the other "The Equalizer!" The store Sean Penn is running was my buddy Marty's family store back in the day...
I do love hearing about movie locations and the communities that surround them. I really enjoyed reading the descriptions of the neighborhoods in the book and seeing it on film. Thanks for sharing!
Not sure if it’s been mentioned but the actor that played the liquor store owner is Eli Wallach who also played Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Just a correction Asia, that is not the same woman as the mom in the Conjuring. Dave's wife is Marcia Gaye Harden. The mom in the Conjuring was Lily Taylor. I never clocked that they look alike. They really do.
Check out Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning in : “I AM SAM” Sean plays a mentally challenged man with a little girl and he has to fight to keep her, the law doesn’t think he’s a fit parent.. He has a lot of friends to help him!! So well done!!!
That scene alone won Sean Penn the Academy Award for Best Actor. That was the scene they showed during the reading of the nominees for Best Actor ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
That scene where they discovered her body and the crowd was trying to hold him back, that was real. They gave it all the effort they had and they still couldn't hold him back.
Clint Eastwood is know for shooting all scenes in one take as a director. I just wonder how actors like Sean Penn can bring all that intensity to the table in one take. What a movie omgdnss.
Asia and BJ, I've been with you since the pandemic and you keep making great choices! This one's grown on me over the years - chockful of AMAZING performances w/ Penn the center around which everyone else resolves. It's a true morality play - child abuse, unresolved trauma, and an object lesson in the fallacy of shoehorning facts to support your conclusion rather than allowing the facts to guide you to the truth, even if it's one you don't desire. The penultimate scene of Laura Linney comforting Penn as she tells him they did nothing wrong is chilling, right out of "Macbeth" - the wife absolving him of responsibility, which he readily accepts to deny responsibility for what he's done. Know what might be interesting next? Denzel Washington's "Macbeth!"
This (the beginning scene) was my best friends street. She lived with her husband and kids there. I lived the next street over. I remember when they were filming this in good old East Boston!
Y'all both can be forgiven for pinning it on Dave so early. He was giving creepy vibes when he was watching Katie at the bar. It's incredibly sad when you realize that he was looking at Katie, thinking of the fact that he was never given the chance to be a carefree young adult partying and laughing with friends at a bar. Since he was forced into that car, he carried the weight, sadness, and trauma of the event with him his whole life. Celeste really should have known better.
Winner of best actor Sean Penn and best supporting actor Tim Robbins. I remember when I saw this at the theater I turned to my friend and said Tim Robbins was gonna win a Oscar. I wish I had predicted Penn also
He was looking at her like that because he has known her since the day she was born. He could see how happy she was dancing on the table, and you have to understand that because of what happened to him; who do you think was responsible for nothing happening to katy while her father was in prison? It was definitely Dave that kept an eye on her because he truly understood that there are vampires out there that will get her or any kid if noone is watching out. He is the only one that knows that and so he he has been keeping an eye on katy anytime she was within eyeshot outside of her home. That's why he didn't take his eyes off of her until she drove away in her car from the bar. There was nothing creepy about it.
The Sean's wife subplot is a metaphor to show how each of the kids all struggled to have to connect healthily as adults. Each of the men were stunted from the abduction. Him reaching out to her at the end is him growing and working past the trauma. He's the healthiest of the men and after seeing how bad its gotten (one murdered by another) he's realising he needs to move past the trauma and have healthy connections to those around him This and Prisoners you really see how abduction and torture to kids emotionally and mentally stunt your adulthood. Both the characters they want you to think are the killers (Dave in this and Alex in Prisoners) were both victims as children and come off weird because of the severe trauma.
Won two Oscars: Best Actor for Sean Penn as Jimmy, and Best Supporting Actor for Tim Robbins as Dave. Nominated for four other awards - Best Picture, Best Director for Clint Eastwood, Best Supporting Actress for Marcia Gay Harden as Celeste, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Brian Helgeland, based on Dennis Lehane's novel of the same name.
You guys done did it now with this one! Instant classic. So classic, I’m commenting before even seeing the reaction. I’m sure it’s a great reaction as always!
If you like this movie, you should watch Sleepers with Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman. It is just as suspenseful and tragic as Mystic River and it is centered around a group of young boys as well.
Oh S! That liquor store owner was Eli Wallach...legendary actor. His first role was in 1956 in one of my all time favorite movies "Baby Doll" by Elia Kazan.
Cool! The original Tuco, not the Tuco from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but the Tuco (the ugly) from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, is the liquor store owner @27:59 (of the gun liquor store hold up). Clint put his old friend in this movie. I wonder if they swapped stories about the old days of being on set of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?
Great reaction! Great movie. Kevin Bacon reminds of an amaaaaaaaazing movie called, 'Stir of Echoes' which has similarities. I promise you will not be disappointed.
This blows prisoners out of the water. The movies that Clint makes pretty much from Unforgiven on, whether he stars in them or not, are just so damn good.
I absolutelly fall for it....I watched it on the theatre and I remember exactly how dissapointed and hopeless I felt when it finished...specially after listening to Jimmy's wife. I love your reactions.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching movies with Asia and BJ. This one was a hoot. The antics y'all pull off are hilarious...and the look on BJ's face when he realizes Dave is innocent but is gunna die.... Ever since the Harry Potter episode and the "Platapusaurus" comment that made me laugh so hard I peed myself, I decided you two are in my top 3 movie reaction channels. Y'all be almost 200k XD Thanks you guys. I love you too
I used to teach screenwriting and i loved using this flick. I would teach the novel, screenplay, and movie over three weeks. Great way to demonstrate how they are each different but all very good.
I was trying to remember this movie just today to ask my sister to watch it with me. It is so good. I couldn’t remember the title, thoug. then bam! You happened to do a great review! Thank you.
Great Boston movie and book. Same guy who wrote Gone Baby Gone I believe. Both books first. GBG with Casey Afflek… I watched it once and I read it twice. That was enough for me. Yea… that movie is heavy. Way before the sound of freedom. It was right around the time my first niece was born. That I saw it. That movie literally made me the overprotective uncle I am today. If you couldn’t gather, it’s about a detective and a little girl.
For somebody like me who grew up in HS when Jeff Spicoli broke loose, Sean Penn turned into one hell of an actor - and none of us would have guessed that back then.
I like how when Asia and BJ are trying to figure out who the killer in any movie is. they litterly pick every suspect until the end of the movie 😂😂😂 they never commit they just switch back and forth 😂
As someone already said, yes, watch Sleepers (1996). As far as Mystic River, I didn't think it was Dave because I felt it's too easy. For him to be the killer figured out so early didn't sit right.
I remember having a sick feeling in my stomach at the end of this movie. I remember thinking it had to be Dave but also it’s usually not the obvious one but never thought it was the kid. Such a good movie though
Woohoo!! I've been waiting forever for you guys to get to this movie, especially knowing how my boy loves crime thrillers! IMO this is the best ever. And it WILL stick with you. Thank you for doing it justice! If you want another great crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat and also be memorable as hell, try Rivers Edge with a young Keanu Reeves, Do yourself a favor and don't wait for me to recommend it ten times like you did this last movie, you'll be glad you did. Peace! 😎🤙❤️
I like movies with Kevin Bacon, he always plays good characters. A good one you may like is the 1994 movie, “The River Wild”. Stars Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep. Action/thriller/suspense. 😁👍
Isn't it crazy that Sean Penn is also the lawyer David Kleinfeld in Carlito's way that you just watched? He can play a real range of characters and make himself look very different. Jimmy is the type of guy, like Carlito, that Kleinfeld wanted to be.
I was never gonna give this movie a second thought. I was hanging out with my buddies, and their parents had rented this.

have you ever seen...... Lovely Bones
@@roger5322 yes
The book was amazing, and the movie did it justice. Every single actor just killed it, even the kids. Sean Penn finding out it was his daughter was one of the most heartbreaking scenes ever.

We don't care just shut up😂😂😂
This is such a good movie. Gone Baby Gone and The Drop are also great movies based on Dennis Lehane books.
I just watched GoneBabyGone last night for the first time
Brendan Harris, Katie's boyfriend, was played by Tom Guiry aka Scotty "your killing me, Smalls" from "The Sandlot"!
OMG!
I dont think ive ever watched BJ havr to get up and walk it off before. This is an outstanding movie.
Not sure if it’s been mentioned but the actor that played the liquor store owner is Eli Wallach who also played Tuco in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Just a correction Asia, that is not the same woman as the mom in the Conjuring. Dave's wife is Marcia Gaye Harden. The mom in the Conjuring was Lily Taylor.
I never clocked that they look alike. They really do.
Seeing this in the theater was a hell of an experience. Gut wrenching. Sean Penn gave the performance of a lifetime in this. What an actor.
Another Clint Eastwood classic.
Check out Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning in :
“I AM SAM”
Sean plays a mentally challenged man with a little girl and he has to fight to keep her, the law doesn’t think he’s a fit parent.. He has a lot of friends to help him!!
So well done!!!
Yeah, but Tropic Thunder springs to mind...never go there if you want Academy recognition.
I second this recommendation! Wonderful film. Sean Penn's performance is phenomenal.
I've recommended this movie before a couple times. I hope they do it. Such a good watch!
That scene alone won Sean Penn the Academy Award for Best Actor. That was the scene they showed during the reading of the nominees for Best Actor ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is one of my favourite clint Eastwood directed movies!🙂
Everything about this movie is gr8!!
The cast ❤
The writing ❤
The plot ❤
The ending 😢
Rivers Edge starring Keanu Reeves is a must see!!
Agreed but a hard watch.
That scene where they discovered her body and the crowd was trying to hold him back, that was real. They gave it all the effort they had and they still couldn't hold him back.
“KISS THE GIRLS” w/ Morgan Freeman & Ashley Judd! Great movie!!
“THE CALL” w Halle Berry is such a great one, too! 😊
Clint Eastwood is know for shooting all scenes in one take as a director. I just wonder how actors like Sean Penn can bring all that intensity to the table in one take. What a movie omgdnss.
Yeah Penn said at max he does 4 or 5 takes but usually around 2 or 3. He was taken about by that style and they finished filming this in a month
@@rxtsec1 wow!
Tom Hanks said that he treats actors like horses
Dave's wife was also the crazy lady in the Mist.
And an Oscar winning actress for the film “Pollock.”
Y'all should watch THE SLEEPERS...
Sleepers is a fantastic movie with a phenomenal cast. Good shout!
I can never find that to watch again
"WILD THINGS" with Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Bill Murray, Robert Wagner is Definitely a movie to see!!
Good call . Bacon’s on the other side in that one
Outstanding movie.
This is a heavy flick. When he screams, is that my daughter? , you can feel and hear his pain. Amazing Sean Penn
Asia and BJ, I've been with you since the pandemic and you keep making great choices! This one's grown on me over the years - chockful of AMAZING performances w/ Penn the center around which everyone else resolves.

Know what might be interesting next? Denzel Washington's "Macbeth!"
This was one of the rare times where the movie is just as good as the book. And the book was fantastic.
Next up.."Gone Baby, Gone"..and then .:"Town"..both also set in Boston.
Thanks!
This is an exceptional movie. So glad you had a chance to watch it and share your reaction with us!
This should be on every top 10 movie list ever made.
This (the beginning scene) was my best friends street. She lived with her husband and kids there. I lived the next street over. I remember when they were filming this in good old East Boston!
This is one of the few films that I like to put in a special catagory. The catagory being the films that turn your "Soul into Spaghetti."
Y'all both can be forgiven for pinning it on Dave so early. He was giving creepy vibes when he was watching Katie at the bar. It's incredibly sad when you realize that he was looking at Katie, thinking of the fact that he was never given the chance to be a carefree young adult partying and laughing with friends at a bar. Since he was forced into that car, he carried the weight, sadness, and trauma of the event with him his whole life. Celeste really should have known better.
What kind of woman talks about her husband like that? I will never forget that line from this movie
she’s so good at playing awful characters
Right there with you. I’m pretty sure we all suspected Dave and none of us suspected the kids. Intense, tragic movie.
Winner of best actor Sean Penn and best supporting actor Tim Robbins. I remember when I saw this at the theater I turned to my friend and said Tim Robbins was gonna win a Oscar. I wish I had predicted Penn also
My fav thing about react videos is that I can finally watch films again after vowing to never do so. The buffer helps so much
Kevin Bacon thriller movie suggestion - "The River Wild" (1994). Also starring Meryl Streep, David Strathairn.
He was looking at her like that because he has known her since the day she was born. He could see how happy she was dancing on the table, and you have to understand that because of what happened to him; who do you think was responsible for nothing happening to katy while her father was in prison?

That's why he didn't take his eyes off of her until she drove away in her car from the bar. There was nothing creepy about it.
The moment Sean penn realizes it’s his daughter the some of the best acting ever in any movie. It was real, painful, and tortured.
Sean penn won the Oscar for this role. That scene hits you in the gut
The Sean's wife subplot is a metaphor to show how each of the kids all struggled to have to connect healthily as adults. Each of the men were stunted from the abduction. Him reaching out to her at the end is him growing and working past the trauma. He's the healthiest of the men and after seeing how bad its gotten (one murdered by another) he's realising he needs to move past the trauma and have healthy connections to those around him

Really enjoyed this. I had not seen this film before but now I need to get full version! Love your reactions ❤
Blood freezing thriller for my man BJ : 8mm from 1999 Nicolas Cage Joaquin Phoenix and James Gandolfini ( from the writer of seven) 🥶🥶🥶
That's such an underrated movie.
If you like this movie, you should watch Sleepers with Kevin Bacon, Brad Pitt, Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman. It is just as suspenseful and tragic as Mystic River and it is centered around a group of young boys as well.
Actress playing Sean Penn's daughter is in "SHAMELESS" as Fiona.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oh S! That liquor store owner was Eli Wallach...legendary actor. His first role was in 1956 in one of my all time favorite movies "Baby Doll" by Elia Kazan.
One of my favorite thrillers is “No Way Out” with Kevin Costner.

Eli Wallach. Wow, thanks for that tidbit. I never would have recognized him.
Great reaction! Great movie. Kevin Bacon reminds of an amaaaaaaaazing movie called, 'Stir of Echoes' which has similarities. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Great shout, that is a good movie
Love watching movies with you two… just discovered your channel .. your reactions are priceless.. keep doing what you’re doing. 😊
This blows prisoners out of the water. The movies that Clint makes pretty much from Unforgiven on, whether he stars in them or not, are just so damn good.
This and Grand Torino are my favorite movies Clint Eastwood directed.
It's A Perfect World for me.

Sean Penn was incredible in this movie, they all were.
Dennis Lehane’s book is also excellent. 💜💜💜
One of my faves! Sean Penn is such an amazing actor.

Sean's scene was the most powerful scene ever.
such a great film. clint eastwood in the director's chair
Yes! Finally somebody I watch is reacting to one of my favorites 😭
I used to teach screenwriting and i loved using this flick. I would teach the novel, screenplay, and movie over three weeks. Great way to demonstrate how they are each different but all very good.
One of my favorite movies. A gut punch all around. No happy ending in this movie other than Kevin Bacon’s character.
Great movie. One of my favorite thriller movies. Up there with Silence Of The Lambs and Kiss The Girls
This is such a GREAT movie, but I'm still shook by the ending!
So happy you're reacting to this... One of my favorite movies of all time !
Thank you for sharing this reaction. This is one of my favorite movies.
Love that Tim Robbins was part of two of the best movie twists of all time…
Hi Ms. Asia and Mr. BJ, This is Really Great Movie 1st Time Watching It with Both of You. I'm never seen it before. This got me Speechless!
I was trying to remember this movie just today to ask my sister to watch it with me. It is so good. I couldn’t remember the title, thoug. then bam! You happened to do a great review! Thank you.
I loved this movie when it came out. I was like 17. I bought it on DVD. Great choice
Great Boston movie and book. Same guy who wrote Gone Baby Gone I believe. Both books first. GBG with Casey Afflek… I watched it once and I read it twice. That was enough for me. Yea… that movie is heavy. Way before the sound of freedom. It was right around the time my first niece was born. That I saw it. That movie literally made me the overprotective uncle I am today. If you couldn’t gather, it’s about a detective and a little girl.
Omg this movie!😭
❤LOVED the book.....LOVE the film. Strong acting bye all. Yes Gone Baby Gone is also AMAZING WITH NEXT LEVEL PERFORMANCES.
Also, actor that played Brendan Harris is the same actor that played Smalls in The Sandlot
For somebody like me who grew up in HS when Jeff Spicoli broke loose, Sean Penn turned into one hell of an actor - and none of us would have guessed that back then.
The mom in The Conjuring is Lili Taylor. Dave's wife is played by Marcia Gay Harden. They do look alike though. Easy mistake. 😊
Jimmy's wife is Lady Macbeth in this movie. Beautifully acted and directed.
As gut wrenching as this is, this movie is an absolute must watch! Classic but poor Dave man
I like how when Asia and BJ are trying to figure out who the killer in any movie is. they litterly pick every suspect until the end of the movie 😂😂😂 they never commit they just switch back and forth 😂
Please check out Sleepers which is another crime thriller. All star cast (Kevin Bacon, Robert DeNiro, etc.)
Yes!!!!
As someone already said, yes, watch Sleepers (1996). As far as Mystic River, I didn't think it was Dave because I felt it's too easy. For him to be the killer figured out so early didn't sit right.
This movie is so important and hard to watch! So glad you reacting to this!
I love you two! Thanks for another great reaction to one of the greats!
If you guys haven't reacted to Gone Girl with Ben Affleck you should! ❤
Phenomenal cast! You should also check out Sean Penn in Bad Boys (1983)
Yes! No one ever reacts to that one.
Nice pull with that suggestion. Sleeper hit.
Plus Fast Times,he doesn’t do nearly enough comedy but he’s great at it
Loved Bad Boys from 1984. Sean Penn and Esai Morales were epic. Check it out !❤
And "TAPS", with Tom Cruise and Timothy Hutton... Good Stuff.
I remember having a sick feeling in my stomach at the end of this movie. I remember thinking it had to be Dave but also it’s usually not the obvious one but never thought it was the kid. Such a good movie though
Amazing movie. Another great reaction ❤❤❤
For me when i first saw it i never thought it was dave because they were trying so hard to make the suspicion on him lol
Woohoo!! I've been waiting forever for you guys to get to this movie, especially knowing how my boy loves crime thrillers! IMO this is the best ever. And it WILL stick with you. Thank you for doing it justice!

Peace! 😎🤙❤️
I like movies with Kevin Bacon, he always plays good characters. A good one you may like is the 1994 movie, “The River Wild”. Stars Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep. Action/thriller/suspense. 😁👍
Anyone seen ' RAILS AND TIES' it's a hidden gem.... great movie, great actin... if you like kevin bacon you gonna love 'rails and ties'
Isn't it crazy that Sean Penn is also the lawyer David Kleinfeld in Carlito's way that you just watched? He can play a real range of characters and make himself look very different. Jimmy is the type of guy, like Carlito, that Kleinfeld wanted to be.
Great film. I enjoyed watching you experience this great film
