one of the greatest films ever made

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2009)

this is one of the most powerful films I've ever come across. with it being a true story makes it even more powerful. i cant praise the brilliance enough. the film is on for about two and a half hours and my nerves were jacked through the whole of it. when you watch it you cant quite believe that this is actually a true story because of what happens to Angelina Jolie's character. its a very upsetting film and should be watched by everyone with a heart.
the cast are flawless..... Angelina Jolie plays as Christine Collins who's son gets kidnapped, you really feel for her and her struggle to find her child. John Malkovich is also on top form as the man who helps Angelina (Christine) through her fight.
it starts out quite nice. you see that Christine really loves her son. she goes to work one day and misses the last bus to her home. she walks back and finally makes it to her house at a late hour. soon as she opens the door the place is silent, already she knows something must be wrong. she looks in every room and even round the estate she's living in. she rings the police and they say the boy needs to be missing for a certain amount of time before they actually file a missing persons report. she then has a terrifying ordeal which is quite gut wrenching to find her son.
once again Clint Eastwood has made a perfect film that will have me captivated forever. Clint is a genius, one of my favourite directors. he puts the exact pace in a film, the exact musical score, the right actors..... everything.
i think this got nominated for three Oscars, i cant believe it didn't win any. i'm appalled by that. this film is absolutely amazing and there will never be a film like it again....... A MASTERPIECE......... 10/10........j.d Seaton
