Movie Haiku:LA circa 1930 with Jolie as a devoted single mom facing off against corrupt cops after her son mysteriously disappears. SPLIT DECISION: Rich enjoyed the superlative Hollywood production values but Jan was annoyed by the characters--white hats too white; black hats too black; no subtle shades of gray. Clint''s "feminist" film? No way!
