I've just seen this film and this is probably one of the most powerful movies this year, if not ever. I thought Clint Eastwood's direction was incredible - he is well known in the industry as an "actor's director" - and there were gripping turns from all the actors - particularly from Angelina Jolie, whose inspired casting has ensured a performance already tipped as Oscar worthy. This is a film that vividly captures the sickening bureaucracy of an era that moved a city to fight in the pursuit of justice.
It's a bit overlong and the violence may put off some people, but stick with this film for an ending that has real emotional power. As I have said, in short, a disturbing if ultimately moving film.
