This film wasn't bad, I thought it was going to be over at one point and their was 45 minutes left. It's loosely based on a true story. Angelina did her usual hardly speaking, staring into space role. |

After the first fifty minutes, the only thing that held my interest was Angelina's very red lips. The plot is tried and predictable. I spent most of the movie arguing with the screen about how it was making me dumber. |

I just can't get enough Clint Eastwood in my life! And, this one is definitely worth watching. I have nothing against the police, but I just love movies with cops as the bad guys. |

Where did he go? |
|
Another excellent film directed by Clint Eastwood. I was really hoping Jolie would have gotten the Oscar for this film. It is def one that and drama fan would need to check out. It's long, it's a tearjerker, and most of all it's well made and highly entertaining. |

Where's My Son!? |
|
Clint Eastwood has finally done something that I've liked. With very little appeal to me, I went, knowing full well that I was going to see a film directed by the Oscar-hungry Clint Eastwood. What a tool. But I went, nonetheless, and I was stunned, actually stunned.
Sitting next to two very good friends, we became scared, horrified, frustrated, happy, depressed, enraged, and everything else in between while a hunt for a child turned into something larger and even more ominous. You at once feel sorry for the police officers for their plight, but then root against them as they torture a young mother who has lost everything in having her son kidnapped by a deranged killer.
You feel enraged when the child returned to her is not willing to admit the mistake in order to help, but are ... |

Clint Eastwoods Direction Masterpiece |
|
Angelina Jolie makes a true return to form and gives the performance of her career as Christine Collins, a mother whose case made national attention in the late 1920s: her son kidnapped, he is found months later, but upon seeing the child, Christine realizes that he is not her son. The case smashed apart the Los Angeles Police Department and revealed much of the corruption and greed prevalent. A heartbreaking drama, Clint Eastwood has given us a powerful film, one that is sadly underrated and has not achieved a bigger audience despite the fact that it was advertised fairly well. Those who have not gotten a chance to see this film, I urge them all to see it. The experience is more than just simply rewarding.Filled with beautiful performances—from Angelina Jolie as the tortured mother, John... |
