'Changeling' - High-Def Digest Review

[Attebery]

Josh has reviewed 'Changeling.' He says this is a solid period drama from Clint Eastwood. This Blu-ray has good video and audio but thin supplements. Worth checking out though!

I thought it was a great film.

4 1/2 stars for me.



Man, I know where most of those cities/landmarks are. It trips me out.

[Southpaw]

Me too. Underrated film.

[Pahra puh Pahra]

Same. Severely underated

But to be honest I didn't realize how well crafted this film was until...

Spoiler:

the hanging scene. That's where the whole film came together for me . Jason Harner was amazing in that roll

In general a wonderful film that is not part of any genre, but just a well told story. I put this up there as one of Clint's best.

Good to know that others enjoyed this film too.

Wont be a first day purchase for me but ill pick it up down the line.rented it about a week ago with a friend and thought it was great.

Watched this last night and I was hooked from beg to end. Great movie IMO.

Audio was VERY well done IMO and this track is a great example of how good a subtle sound track can be and how affective/convincing this type of sound can be.

I think I'll pass on this one. I'll watch The Original Classic 'Changeling' instead

I really thought this was a great movie. Having recently watched Million Dollar Baby I couldn't believe that it won Best Picture and Changeling and Gran Torino received such harsh critical backlash. Personally I feel that these two films were head and shoulders above Million Dollar Baby.

People need to watch this movie.

+100

This movie and Gran Turino puts Million Dollar Baby to shame. I thought besides the performances, MDB was severely overrated.

I waited for bluray to watch this and I'm really surprised it didn't get more aclaim. Powerful powerful story, and one of the best movies that deals with police corruption I have ever seen. And what's amazing is that's just the tip of the iceberg with this movie.
Its a shame this gets no nods come oscar time and melodrama drivel like the Reader and Revolionary Road get props.

watched it this wknd. Loved it.

Man....May have to give this one a look. Everyone I know has raved about it. I will probably blind buy it down the road though..too many other releases that are coming I am zeroing in on.

Revolutionary Road is a very well done period drama and it was only nominated for 3 Academy Awards(the same as Changeling) and all of them were technical, no major Awards like Changeling. Ill give you the Reader though, that movie wasnt very good, even though i felt Kate Winslet deserved that award more than Angelina Jolie.

This as a great film, i agree it is pretty underrated although not one of Eastwood's best. I thought Jason Harner was awesome as the serial killer, im very excited to see his career progress to more major roles, i think hell be really good. I plan on picking this one up when the price goes down to $20ish.
