Review of In the Valley of Elah (2007) by Stephen J — 09 Oct 2013
The film is overly political, excessively liberal, needlessly dark, and unfairly biased. The movie is stirring despite its blatant anti-American theme and will certainly cause lively debate between audiences on both sides of the aisle.
However, Tommy Lee Jones and Cherize Theron portray believable characters and do so very well. Of special note is Tommy Lee Jones' performance, who performs surprisingly well as a mourning father who is able to conduct a better investigation than the local police.
The plot is good, the character development is done well, but the anti-American and anti-military theme is heavy-handed. Rent it, don't buy it.
