As usual... Clint Eastwood as director is a secure bet.

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2009)

I have to admit that I've always liked Clint Eastwood as a director. He never lets me down and "Changeling" it isn't been an exception. At the same time I'm not a fun of Angelina Jolie but I have to admit I had to like her this time (not sure as everybody say worth an Oscar, but really good acting).
Based in real event, and knowing what is this film about, means is gonna be a super-drama and it's.
I always said that a good movie, liked or not, makes you feel things. And this one delivers Frustration, rage, impotence and shame and at the same time overcoming, hope and a deserved final justice.
Great directing and acting, not just Angelina Jolie, all the cast. Superb recreation (portrait) of LA city and society in the 30-40's.
Just mention is 137 min long and under my point of view the last 20/30 min could be taken out. Doesn't contribute at all in the story and the truth is, after the trial, it becomes slower and a bit pointless.
Anyway, I can't wait to watch "Gran Torino".
Overall a fair 7.5/10 and a well worth drama to watch.
