Saw this movie on my plane back from Sydney and was really impressed - Clint Eastwood as usual directed very strong story focused on fight of an individual against system,in this case single mother against corrupted Los Angelos police who claims she is crazy for not recognising her missing son (who turned out to be somebody else).Everybody involved was first-rate,from corrupted police inspector to mass murderer and of course John Malkovich - surprisingly enough,the main actress Angelina Jolie was the weakest link here since all trough the movie she moans and cries and have nothing else to do beyond saying "I want my son" for hundreds of times. Yes,she is attractive woman and she loves kids apparently,but it makes you wonder what would somebody like Kate Blanchett do with this role.Apart from her,movie was really good and strong - I will probably watch it again,Clint Eastwood really knows how to direct a good movie.
By the way,loved to see old Los Angelos reconstructed and everything looks really authentic.
Added here re pictures of real-life mother,the killer and her son.
