Where's My Son!?

Clint Eastwood has finally done something that I've liked. With very little appeal to me, I went, knowing full well that I was going to see a film directed by the Oscar-hungry Clint Eastwood. What a tool. But I went, nonetheless, and I was stunned, actually stunned.
Sitting next to two very good friends, we became scared, horrified, frustrated, happy, depressed, enraged, and everything else in between while a hunt for a child turned into something larger and even more ominous. You at once feel sorry for the police officers for their plight, but then root against them as they torture a young mother who has lost everything in having her son kidnapped by a deranged killer.
You feel enraged when the child returned to her is not willing to admit the mistake in order to help, but are then made guilty when you realize what he must be feeling at that young age. I will say, bitterly and savagely, this movie was truly brilliant, leaving me in fits of tears and rage, all in the name of a son who could be out there right now...
