WOW! ...Pleasantly Surprised

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2014)

I usually think of Angelina Jolie as a show off. In regards to most of her movies, she's just LIKE that. But recently, I think she's begun to mature.
In this film, she became a character I could actually CARE about! This & SALT are two of her films that I actually care about her characters.
You actually ROOT for the characters you're supposed to root for, and you start to HATE the characters you're supposed to hate! I mean, this was amazing! I mean the hateful actually do become so hateful, you feel like you just wanna PUNCH them in the face! Wow! And in the story, justice is certainly given where it's needed!
Also, the costumes and sets are amazing. The design for the time period really looks convincing.
Clint Eastwood is amazing not just as an actor, but ALSO a director! And that's saying a lot.
And (SPOILERS) in it's context, it actually made the F-word feel great! I mean, it was called for, the timing was right, you FELT the same way Jolie was in the movie, and, yes, it WAS awesome! I usually don't like swearing or profanity, but here, it's one of the few exceptions! LOL yeah. It felt really good when she cursed the ones who were wrongfully accusing her & treating her!
Great story, great characters, great depth, great development, great acting, and great message. Over all, this film gets 9 out of 10 from me!
