Review of In the Valley of Elah (2007) by Christianp. — 18 Feb 2008
I really enjoyed this movie while I watched it, but in the end I was left unfulfilled...or was it too filled?? Haggis could have made the end more ambiguous and left us hanging more, but -- just like he did in Crash, he tries to make us believe something, or feel something, or think something.
He tries too hard to move his audience in a certain way. This could have been a "10" but loses its steam in the end. Jones is fantastic. Also, if you write this off as being "anti-American," you are lazy.
Heavy-handed? Yes. Anti-American? Not by a long shot.
