Movies like Mystic River (Mystery, thriller, crime)

nitrogen · 2010-05-04 11:52:52

After seeing Shutter Island, I looked up Dennis Lehane to discover this gem of a movie I wasn't aware of. Solid performances from all the leads and an intriguing story. Can you recommend other films within the mystery, thriller, crime genre that weren't in the blockbuster spotlight? Thanks

"A Simple Plan" was a smart almost indie-thriller. Not quite the mystery that Mystic River was or anything, but very character based. Haven't seen it in a good while, should try pick it up.

"Memento" really is the front runner though.

Maybe have yourself a search for 'lone star'.
While you're at it have a look for 'stander'.

Was going to recommend Lone Star. One of the best films of the 90's
