By DAVID GERMAIN

AP Movie Writer
Something more than a child goes missing in Clint Eastwood's “Changeling,” his tale casting Angelina Jolie as a real-life single mom whose young son vanishes in 1928.
| CHANGELING |
 Director: Clint Eastwood Cast: Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, Colm Feore, Jason Butler Harner, Amy Ryan, Michael Kelly Rating: R for some violent and disturbing content, and language Running time: 141 minutes |
On the surface, “Changeling” has all the rich atmosphere and evocative detail of his recent Academy Awards offerings, “Mystic River,” “Million Dollar Baby” and “Letters From Iwo Jima.”
