User Reviews
I really liked this movie, it felt different. I liked the story lines and the characters. It is not a big movie but it's worth seeing. I really liked Clint Eastwood's character. He was tormented and rude at times but at the same time he became so close to a family that he hardly new. That's whats amanzing about this film it makes you see that sometimes in life you can become closer to strangers more than to your own family. I would highly recommend this movie. Trust me, I am really not a big fan of his so I have to really like it to make me want to co-sign this project.
I thought at first, "This man is crazy!" This movie is incrediable. Clint Eastwood is a remarkable actor. Samuel L Jackson is the only other man I know that probably could have played his role in this movie. Man, I thought he was just an crazy old man through out the beginning of the movie. Around the middle, I was touched. But at the end I was in tears, and very moved by his actions. He showed a true man. And a very smart one in fact. That movie is very "moving". Wow, that's all I can say!
Clint Eastwood shows you why he still should be in FRONT of the camera

I think we really need to balance this film, which is not bad, it wasn't as good as some make out, Clint needs to realise that He's not a tough guy anymore, the punching of the cupboards shows frailty, and while... Full review

Now I understand why Clint Eastwood took over the directorial reins for Changeling from Ron Howard (Howard dropped Changeling in order to make Frost/Nixon, instead.) Eastwood did an excellent job on Changeling, with a genuine feel for the dark subject matter,... Full review
