Review of In the Valley of Elah (2007) by Peterk. — 12 Mar 2008
This movie deserves an 11. Most people miss the elemental power of Tommy Lee Jones's smoldering performance and the depth of dramatic irony the writing has instilled in the part of Hank Deerfield, a father unraveling the horrific and mesmerizing truths of his son's disappearance which rivals anything that Sophocles did 2,500 years ago.
This film, largely ignored by all but the critics, is one of the best to come out in decades.
