"Dehumanizing effect of the Iraq war", War is always ugly. It does not matter where it is fought or by whom. Soldiers are active participants in surival games that require them to kill with or without reason in order to preserve their won life or the lives of the people around them. This story is a story of the current generation of young people going to Iraq. They are used to video cameras, simple comforts of every day life, while long stays in a third world country like Iraq are having lasting effects on their psyche. Tommy Lee Jones plays a father whose sons goes AWOL. He is convinced that if his son is missing, there must be a valid reason and decides to launch his own investigation. When a body was found just outside of the city and identified as remains of his son, he is determined to find a person that committed the crime. Local police and military police fight over jurisdiction and the right to investigate the crime. Is it that military wants to keep this hush-hush, or that the local police does not want another murder on their worksheet? Caught in the battle are the grief stricken father and a female police officer, herself a victim of endless sexist torture at the workplace. What is mesmerizing is the way that a young man was killed (over 40 stab wounds with the knife, body cut up in pieces and burned). Even more troubling is the discovery that it was his military buddies who did it. What sort of experience do these young men go through to be able to kill in the most gruesome way one of their own? Are they sociopaths enabled even more by their participation in a war where killing is a part of the daily life, or just irrevocably damaged goods with no shred of consience left? Tommy Lee Jones is so good in this role. This film will make one think abour consequences of war and its affect on people for a long time. It redefines humanity and what it means to different people.

"GOOD PERFOMANCES CAN'T SAVE THIS OVERLY LONG DRAMA!", 'In The Valley Of Elah is an interesting story with good perfomances by Jones, Sarandon and Theron, but the film's snail pace had me wanting to fast forward at times. Although the story is interesting and sad, showing that war destroys more than the obvious. It's not like we haven't seen this stuff before and I felt like I knew where it was going long before the end of the movie. It's an OK watch about a 2 1/2 star rating, but it's really nothing new.

"Typical Anti-war, Anti-American, Hollywood Communist Crap", Well, the liberals in Hollywood have produced another anti-American propaganda film. To be certain, all war is hell, rotten, miserable, Godless, and ashamedly horrible. Man's inhumanity to man began in the Garden of Eden not the Valley of Elah. And, by the way, the liberal atheist commies couldn't get the battle of David and Goliath correct...no mention of Yahweh, the God of Israel; no mention of who David is; no mention of the insult of the Philistine's against the true God of Israel (the liberals mention that this is not a true story)...truly typical of the commie liberal Hollywood elites.

Prepare to see more and more US flags hung upside-down, and worse than that, God Himself lied about and distorted. Satan sure is having a 'field-day'.

If you want to feel miserable about who you are and the lousy wars of American history, and the Republican government; then watch this crappy communist propaganda film and enjoy what little time we all have left.

"An Important Movie.....", I have only a few words to say about "In The Valley of Elah". This is a movie that EVERYONE should watch. Not just for the fact that it is a good movie, but as a reminder of what our men and women are having to go through in the service of our country. Anyone that has a son or daughter or relative that is considering going into the service should highly consider watching this movie with that person before enlisting.

""Dad, you have to get me out of here."",

It is all written on the faces, the harried father who desperately seeks the whereabouts of his son after a tour in Iraq, the others who served with the young man, their proud military bearing and soft-spoken reverence for authority belied by what they have seen and done in service to their country. In this powerful, haunting tale, the rigors of war fall upon the survivors. Hank Deerfield (Tommy Lee Jones), ex-career military, leaves his home in Tennessee, wife (Susan Sarandon) waiting anxiously behind. Hank's last words: "I'll find him." Setting off in his pickup truck, Hank heads for his Mike Deerfield's military base. There are insufficient answers to ease a troubled father's mind. Hoping to circumvent the military police, Hank requests the help of Detective Emily Sanders, a young woman much derided by her fellow detectives. Resistant to Deerfield's imprecations, Sanders at allows him to accompany her to the scene of a recent crime, the mutilation and burning of an unidentified victim.

Once the victim is identified we come to the heart of the film- the reasons for a brutal slaying that straddles the border of military and civilian jurisdiction. Clinging to his rigorous daily standards, military corners on his motel bed, spit-shining his shoes each night before the terrible revelations of the next day, Deerfield is the contemporary American father, patriotic, hard-working, respectful of the institution that has formed the backbone of his life and that of his family. But everything he believes is challenged by the facts, piece by disheartening piece, all pointing towards an institution overwhelmed by the necessities of an ongoing war and the collateral damage inflicted on those who honor their country's call. Director Haggis is circumspect- at no time does he disrespect the military or the soldiers who serve their nation. But he cuts to the heart of war as etched on the face of one parent who bears the unbearable, the loss of a son in circumstances that baffle and disturb him.

Reviewing snippets of film accessed from his son's cell phone, Deerfield watches his son's reactions to the stresses of war, the moral dilemmas faced daily by soldiers in combat. Returning home, these young men are as tightly coiled as when in Iraq, struggling to integrate in a world that has moved on. As the detective slowly unravels a web of deceit engineered by the army, Deerfield hovers nearby, unable to return home without answers. Those he receives do little to lessen his pain, the internal struggle writ clear on the actor's face, more powerful than the declarations of the guilty, the smooth, untroubled faces of Mike's friends. One laments, "I couldn't wait to get out of Iraq. After two weeks here, I wish I could go back." This portrait of loss is scathing and painful, with no villain to blame, save the grim realities of war in the modern age, when powerful machines of destruction are wielded by the flesh and blood of fallible humans. David slays Goliath in the Valley of Elah, but this is a monster of our own making, the nature of war and its necessary, if inhuman demands. With a superior supporting cast (Charlize Theron, Susan Sarandon, Jason Patrick), Jones stands alone, much like his character, his grief relentless. Luan Gaines/2008.

"In the Valley of Elah", Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron give stand out performance in this drama about a retired Army Sergeant, played by Jones, trying to find out why his son has gone missing after returning from Iraq. His investigation takes him from his sons closest friends in the military to local bars and a restaurant. He gets the assistance of a female police detective, played by Theron, that is first reluctant but then more than understanding of his concern. The support cast were excellent and do a fine job making the story come to life. I am a fan of Lee's anyway, but this movie is well worth owning because of the acting, directing, story, sets, and music. Great quality DVD with good replayability. If you enjoyed this be sure to catch "Courage Under Fire" "The Package", and "Off Limits". - C. Luster

"an excellent dvd", a little drawn out , but well worth the money and time invested in this movie it gives us all a little insight on what goes on in the military and since it is based on a true story it is well worth adding to anyones dvd collection.

"Power of the Media", This film is solid in terms of acting and direction. The story is exciting and well constructed. But the film subtly projects a message (subtle in that it is hidden in Tommy Lee Jones's quest to solve his son's murder) that our soldiers in Iraq are self-destructive psychos with no moral fiber. War is, indeed, hell. But it does take two to fight, another truism. It is very easy to criticize when all seems to be secure; our soldiers are fighting to protect our security. The main thing that I got out of this taut drama is that the media can manipulate our sentiments. When Jones flew the flag at the end, I thought he was going to fly it the proper way to honor his son. I was surprised.

"Complicated Characters Brilliantly Portrayed", Usually when I'm told that anyone is "complicated," I shy away, having too often found the term a cover for someone who is a self-dramatizing bore. However this movie presents complicated people who are inherently interesting, and a complicated situation that is inherently moving and not just a layer-cake of contrived emotion.

This might be one of the few movies you'll see that does NOT assume a young enlisted person who fought in Iraq is automatically "a hero." In fact, much of the compelling drama of this film revolves around the viewer's discovery of just how unheroic young Mike Deerfield was.

The disillusionment is made all the more poignant in that we see it through the eyes of the young man's father when he goes to his son's state-side base to find out the circumstances of the young man's grisly death. The disappointment in who his son had grown up to be comes in subtle ways at first, as when Tommy Lee Jones goes to Mike's regular off-duty hangout and finds it's a sleazy strip-joint. One could dismiss that - boys will be boys. But the realization of the young man's character flaws starts to go deeper.

Two mysteries haunt this drama. The first is the obvious one about who killed the young man. But the second mystery, the one that is legitimately complicated, revolves around how this young man, born with so much promise, could have devolved into such a flawed and actually corrupt human being.

Was it his father's stern military influence skewing the boy to place more emphasis on spit-and-polish appearance than on warm human exchange? Was it the brutalizing circumstances of the guerilla war in Iraq? Was it humankind's innate propensity for evil?

The bonus material on this DVD includes one particularly telling outtake. I usually agree with Director's decisions about which scenes were best left on the cutting room floor. But in this case, the main outtake would have added a lot to the character study. In any case, be sure to check it out in the DVD extras.

Susan Sarandon doesn't have a great deal to do in this movie, and outside of one or two wrenching scenes, is almost wasted in the role of the quietly suffering, marginalized wife. However Tommy Lee Jones gives a tour de force performance, really making us feel the consequences of a family's emotional estrangement. This is a memorable film all the way around.

"A Richly Textured Jones Performance Dominates Haggis' Post-Iraq Detective Story", I have to admit it was with some trepidation that I finally saw this 2007 murder mystery directed and written by Paul Haggis. His last time doing double-duty was the polarizing Crash, an omnibus fable of LA-based race relations, powerfully acted but also a manipulative model of melodramatic contrivance. This time out, he is less patronizing because the storyline is more contained and based in fact. However, Haggis still shows the same need to stay topical, seek restitution for his characters and convey an undeniable sense of parable. These factors are what make movie-watchers either love his work or hate it for the way he often undercuts the credibility of the drama to make his points. Regardless, there is no arguing with the fact that Tommy Lee Jones gives a masterful performance of a man who can barely contain his grief under a veneer of old-school reserve. It's a gratifying continuation of the recently stellar work he has done in his own directorial debut, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and the Coen Brothers' bleak No Country for Old Men.

Jones plays taciturn Hank Greenfield, a retired Army officer and ex-military cop who now hauls gravel in Tennessee. He receives word that his son Mike, a soldier just back from Iraq, is about to be reported as AWOL from his base in New Mexico. Immediately sensing something is not right, Hank leaves his concerned wife Joan at home and drives straight to the base to see if he can get to the bottom of his son's disappearance. He receives next to no assistance from either the military or the local police, who argue over whether it's a matter for the Army to resolve. Things change dramatically when a charred, dismembered body is found abandoned in a desolate field outside of town. Once it has been identified, Hank works diligently and fractiously with Emily Sanders, a sympathetic, overworked detective, to find out not only who the murderer is but what the reasons were for such a vile act of inhumanity. Naturally, they encounter an abundance of military red-tape, pervasive apathy from the local police force and a couple of red herrings before coming to a resolution.

Without giving anything away, I have to say the ending lacks a deep emotional resonance that would have made Hank's journey to know his son truly memorable. Instead, we find Haggis informing us how the day-to-day bloodshed in Iraq cannot help but impact the hearts and minds of those who make it home, a lesson one would have thought was made clear from Vietnam. Beyond the quietly nuanced work of Jones, a somewhat deglamorized Charlize Theron continues to prove she can be a fine actress in worthy roles like Emily (and not the comic-book dominatrix Aeon Flux). She fluctuates between strong and empathetic with impressive fluidity. In the understandably smallish role of Joan, Susan Sarandon barely has any screen time for an actress of her caliber, but she makes her couple of wrenching scenes count. Similarly powerful actors have been cast in relatively minor parts - James Franco as an officious base official, Josh Brolin as Emily's ego-driven chief, a nearly unrecognizable Barry Corbin (Northern Exposure) as Hank's old Army pal, and Jason Patric who is allowed to make of an impression as a poker-faced lieutenant who appears to be stonewalling the case. Frances Fisher has a thankless cameo as a topless waitress who provides one of the key clues in the case.

Except for a couple of unnecessary detours toward the end, Haggis has ultimately made less of an involving mystery and more of a dramatically effective "message" movie - not as heavy-handed as "Crash" and of a less arguable variety. The 2008 DVD offers no commentary track from either Haggis or Jones, a surprising omission, but there is a sobering 43-minute video diary of the production spotlighting a number of the actors playing the soldiers as well as the parents of the real-life soldier upon whom Haggis based his story. Also included is an "additional scene", which amounts to an eight-minute deleted subplot about Mike's unknown girlfriend rather absurdly named "Jennifer Lopez" for easy laughs. The laughs evaporate when we see she is a multiple amputee who began to see Mike's changing nature. Particularly fascinating is the variable use of green scene to hide her limbs.
