Review of In the Valley of Elah (2007) by Tyler M — 19 Feb 2009
I really liked this movie. It had a lot to say about current events such as the Iraq war. However, I did not find it as preachy as I anticipated. It is actually a very deep and thought provoking police procedural.
Tommy Lee Jones, Susan Sarandon and Charlize Theron are all top notch. The fact that this film is based on a true story makes it even more compelling. The ending is pretty bold, but I believe it to be a good one if taken in the right context.
This is a very good film that goes deep into the lives and struggles of a soldier and the consequences that war can bring about. Highly recommended.
