Mystic River [3 Disc Deluxe Edition]

"Clint Eastwood's multiple-award-winning adaptation of Dennis Lehane's novel Mystic River was released in three different DVD versions simultaneously. This edition offers the most extras. The film is presented in a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of the movie. Tom Stern's subtle chiaroscuro lighting effects are presented cleanly. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. The soundtrack does a fabulous job of presenting Eastwood's haunting score, which is available by itself on a bonus CD that is packaged with this set. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by actors Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon. They are full of praise for Eastwood's directorial process, as well as fond memories of the time they spent on the set. They also end up just watching the film more often than one might expect. A pair of featurettes, consisting of interviews with all the major figures involved in the movie, and clips from The Charlie Rose Show round out this fine release from Warner Bros."
