The Changeling 5

I can’t think of a single scene that failed to tax my credulity, either due to the extremity of the characterization, the absurdity of the plot, or the inconsistency of the direction. So often did I hear myself thinking, this would never happen like this, that I could only conclude that this was another of those movies, “based on real life events.” Amy Ryan injected a bit of life into a cast of statuesque acting performances, led by Angelina Jolie, who seemingly had a tear in her eye, or down her cheek, the whole picture. John Malkovich was John Malkovich, while everyone else was either unremittingly evil, sinister or wussy. I thought the movie must be directed and produced by Jolie, and was surprised and disappointed to remember that it was Clint Eastwood, in a rare misfire.
