Angelina Jolie gives one of her finest performances in Clint Eastwood's sprawling, powerhouse drama. This is a difficult movie, made all the more so because it is true, and should be viewed only by those wanting something heavy, something dark, something powerfully moving. It is disgusting to see the great injustices done to this woman, and you rally behind her in her struggle to seek justice.
"Never start a fight, but always finish it," she tells her son early in the film. And when the absolute authority of the ever-infamous LAPD starts a fight with her, she must conquer seemingly impossible odds to finish it. This movie is very sad, very harrowing, and very, very good.
