Staff Reviews
Clint Eastwood can blow you away! This was easily one of the year's best films. Shot in Highland Park-DETROIT WASSUP!!! The gritty realism was amazing. Very few directors have the eye of Clint. It is such a pity that this genius is only being realized in the "twilight" of his career and his life. I understand Clint and Angelina did NOT get along during the making of Changeling-I'm sure its because Skanky Angelina tired of walking in Mr Eastwoods shadow of talent. As demonstrated by this gem. Quite honestly making you to be proud to be an American. God Bless you Clint Eastwood. Thank you
