CHANGELING JASON BUTLER HARNER SERIAL

Harner's work instead uses these moments as terrifying insight into the diseased mind of the man. Harner is especially effective in these moments, of sort of a flamboyance within the character as written that I think a lesser performance might have used to turn him into a more sort of obvious villain.

Outside of those moments though we have more of Harner which I think is what makes this a truly outstanding work from him as he finds a very distinct and particularly disturbing approach to the depiction of a serial killer. There is no respite for a moment just this direct uncompromising evil that Harner portrays as a man behaving on these extreme base instincts. These only last a few seconds but Harner's portrayal of these moments of an atrocity are chilling. Now we are given somewhat the expected from Harner, which is no way anything to sniff at, which is his portrayal of the absolutely horrifying intensity in the brief glimpses of the chicken coop murders. The strict perspective into the man is more than enough though given the impact of even only learning part of it as well as due to Harner's performance. This leaves a certain challenge for him in part to make the needed impact given the character is purposefully left as a footnote to Christine's story, understandably so given how grim his story is. We are only given a few glimpses of Harner before the end of the film. Harner appears fairly late in the film as the film introduces that this is in part the story of a vicious serial killer who specializes in abducting then killing young boys, one of the abducted boys being Christine's son. That tragedy is in part a result of the sadly even darker tragedy underneath that one which brings us to Jason Butler Harner. police department she is instead first ignored, then manipulated, then threatened and abused by them. Instead of finding help from law enforcement of the L.A. One tragedy is of Christine Collins's son disappearing. Changeling has at its heart a particularly compelling true story of a mother, Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie), trying to find her lost son which unravels into two separate tragedies however it suffers from slow pacing and some underwhelming performances, especially the child performances, likely in part due to Clint Eastwood's method of doing very few takes.
