In the Valley of Elah
A Movie Preview |
|
 |
Ahh, a movie inspired by true events, usually meaning some
of it is sort of true, but some of it has to be punched up a
bit to make a better movie. Even so “In the Valley of Elah”
looks to be a really good film on the indie side of Warner
Bros.
Pretty much the story is a soldier returns back from
Iraq, alive and with all of his limbs. At first the family
is happy, but then the kid goes missing. Dad is played by
Tommy Lee Joes and mom is played by Susan Sarandon, and both
of them smell some shenanigans since their son actually made
it back to the States, and now disappears. But Dad is a war
veteran, with a lot of street smarts, and he starts to
investigate things, butting heads at times with the
detective played by Charlize Theron who actually is on dad’s
side.
You’ve got a great cast, you’ve got Paul Haggis of
“Crash” fame directing what is sure to be an emotional
thriller, and even though some parts of the story might be
changed to make it movie-friendly, if this one makes it way
to my gigaplex I’ll try to see it.
That’s it for this preview! I’m The Dude on the Right!!
