Clint Eastwood delivers again with 'Changeling'

Clint Eastwood has developed into one of the finest directors of our time over the last two decades. He won Oscars for Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby and has delivered other excellent films during this time. His new film, Changeling, is another first-rate film.

Eastwood doesn't act in this one, but Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich deliver more than enough acting muscle. Set in the late 1920s, the plot centers on the disappearance of Jolie's son and the corruption of the Los Angeles police department.

As is my policy, I don't review films; I only recommend them. If you would like a detailed review of the film, click here. However, I will say that this film is rated 'R,' and is not for young folks. Eastwood tells the story in a way that is not exploitive, but there are times in the film when the subject matter is not easy to watch.

If you're looking for a film to go see, I would put this toward the top of your list.
