Felt long, but in the end I understood why

Rating: 8/10 (31 October 2008)

I've been waiting to see this movie since I first saw a trailer and then I read some of the critics reviews when it opened; I was concerned. But never one to listen to critics (thank God) I went to see for myself and I was pleased. This is a good movie with a good story. Angelina Jolie is good in the role of Christine Collins, even though I find it hard to look at her blown up lips. John Malkovic and Jeff Donovan (Officer Johnson) were also good, though I couldn't find Donovan's name in the IMDb character list.
I was a little annoyed as the movie seemed to go on and on but then I understood why Clint Eastwood wanted to finish the story. Though a few scenes could have been easily cut, especially on in particular. 8/10
