Unbelievably true story of a hideous crime and police corruption

A single mother's young son goes missing in 1928 Los Angeles; unfortunately, the LAPD aren't interested in finding her real son, but rather in saving face and protecting their tarnished reputation.

Eastwood is a proficient filmmaker who rarely delivers a clunker regardless of the genre. But, I'll be honest with you, my wife brought this flick home and I didn't think I'd like it; the plot didn't interest me and neither did Angelina (I can take her or leave her). However, within 25 minutes I was absorbed into the story and captivated until the end. After it was over I researched the true story of the "Wineville Chicken Coop" kidnapping and murder case. The case was so repugnant the town changed its name to Mira Loma in 1930.

If you're in the mood for a drama/mystery based on an unbelievably true story look no further. Eastwood also composed the score.
