Title: Jolie is overrated; scenes of graphic child-abuse horrifying
Product review: I saw this movie with high expectations, having seen Angelina Jolie in other memorable roles. She under-acts throughout "Changeling," and is unconvincing in this true story. She plays a 1920s woman in Los Angeles, Christine Collins, whose nine-year-old son goes missing. Now, I would expect her to be out of her mind with fear, but instead, Jolie whimpers and gets teary-eyed, as if she just suffered a minor scrape. I don't understand director Clint Eastwood's motivation for the graphic depiction of the torture and murder of nine-year-old boys by a sadistic serial killer. Those scenes were horrifying and excessive.
