Summary - Really Great 4.5

Clint Eastwood does it again with this great mystery-drama. Set in the 20’s this story follows the twists and turns that take you from a mysterious dissappearance to a riveting hunt for the cause. The danger with any movies that are fairly long like this one is a meandering plot, but Changeling uses an engaging story, fabulous 20’s setting, and unrivaled acting to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Acting - Really Great 4.5

Aaaah Angelina Jolie! How perfect for this role! She fits right in and pulls off a genuine nice mom persona in spite of a drop-dead sultry look. John Malkovich is great as a tireless nemesis of a preacher to the corrupt LA law establishment. I also like Colm Feore as the success at all costs police leader. But really – the whole cast pulls out all the stops in this movie.

Film - Great 4.0

Lots of kudos for a wonderful blend of story, setting, and acting.

Edge - Sordid 3.0

Don’t be lulled by the moderate start to the film!

Reality - Natural 1.0

Unfortunately, this movie is very realistic.
