The title of the movie Changling makes it sound like a fantasy film but instead this new Clint Eastwood picture is a period piece about the LA Police department.

Clint Eastwood directs Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in a provocative thriller based on actual events: Changeling. In the film, Christine Collins’ (Jolie) prayers are met when her kidnapped son is returned. But amidst the frenzy of the photo-op reunion, she realizes this child is not hers. Facing corrupt police and a skeptical public, she desperately hunts for answers, only to be confronted by a truth that will change her forever.

You may also recognize actor Jeffrey Donovan from Burn Notice, one of my favorite TV shows, as the police captain.
