Clint Eastwood had the dueling job of telling a story about a woman's tragedy of losing a son, police corruption, late 20’s and early 30’s mentality AND bring into the story of a serial killer. Having said that, not bad Clint. It's one for the CD collection.
my 2 cents
When we go to the movies anymore, we look for entertainment and avoid any that are R-rated. This one sounds extremely depressing. I’m wondering how Angelina could be so thin after she just had twins.
“The Changeling lacks story focus and at two hours-twenty minutes is about 40 minutes too long. “
Whoever wrote the above words needs to have their head examined. True stories are not spec-script, 90 minute material; and I happened to walk out thinking the movie was perfect — and brilliantly focused.
The movie “The Changeling” is fascinating from beginning to end; and Angelina Jolie, Clint Eastwood — and the picture — will be Oscar winners.
