The problem is that Eastwood has been so spot on with his recent films that one can't help but feel disappointed with a film that is merely "good." So, who knows? Maybe "Changeling" will pick up a nomination or two in the tech areas, as well.
CHANGELING JASON BUTLER HARNER SERIAL
While Jolie and Malkovich are fine, the film's strongest performance belongs to Jason Butler Harner's incredibly creepy serial killer, a performance that could garner the film its only awards talk.Īctually, as is traditional for an Eastwood film, "Changeling" looks beautiful and its production values are quite sparkling. It's a diluted film, largely due to a sub-story line involving a serial killer and scenes involving Detective Ybarra (Michael Kelly) that don't do much more than distract from the goings on. Unfortunately, it's not an important film. Perhaps he's simply gotten too used to all his films being praised, but "Changeling" constantly feels like it's trying hard to be an important film. Despite being well-known in the entertainment business, he remains strongly connected to theater, his first love.
CHANGELING JASON BUTLER HARNER TV
His most notable TV appearances have been in the shows CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Ray Donovan, and Alcatraz. The truth is that with "Changeling" Eastwood seems to fall into the same trap that his protege' Paul Haggis seems to find himself in.he just tries too damn hard. Changeling and Kill the Irishman are two of his most well-known films. Briegleb (John Malkovich) takes up her cause and the battle is on. He played Gordon Stewart Northcott, a serial killer responsible for the Wineville Chicken Coop. The problem? The boy isn't really her son, and the more she pushes against the police department the more they push back. Harner completed filming for Changeling in December 2007. After a few weeks, Captain Jones (Jeffrey Donovan) appears at her doorstep with her "son" and a photo op for the L.A. Proving once again that she does her best work in films that nobody ever sees, Angelina Jolie offers a strong performance in Eastwood's "Changeling," the story of a mother whose semi-idyllic life in 1920's Los Angeles is turned upside down when her 9-year-old son, Walter (Gattlin Griffith), disappears. Actually, as is traditional for an Eastwood film, 'Changeling' looks beautiful and its production values are quite sparkling. Is Hollywood even allowed to have an awards season without Clint Eastwood around? While Jolie and Malkovich are fine, the films strongest performance belongs to Jason Butler Harners incredibly creepy serial killer, a performance that could garner the film its only awards talk.
