Mystic River- Violent Blah

Probably the worst Clint Eastwood movie I've seen. Transparent, yet filled with unavoidable violence almost just to fill it. I don't like when they have to show bodies or flashbacks of murders, etc. its so unnecessary. isn't explaining death enough? It was just boring and cliche. If it is like any movie, it is like Matchpoint because it is about twists of fate and randomness of life. Except Matchpoint is 10x better.
