What critics compared White Hunter, Black Heart to
Mystic River, which Eastwood directed from Brian Helgeland's adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel, is perhaps the greatest, most affecting articulation of the theme Eastwood has been exploring since 1990's White Hunter Black Heart: how violence—real violence, not movie violence—perpetrated and experienced, can erode and/or obliterate the human soul.
