Loading ...Well, here I was ignoring this because I thought it was more police detective story than war movie, but I may have to give it a second look, all politics aside. This review from The Pitch in Kansas City seems to like it well enough….
Like Haggis’ Crash, In the Valley of Elah is overcrowded by more sprawling subplots than a daytime soap. No doubt, the movie will rile as many critics as Crash did, but for all its flaws, it’s a vital and urgent American story, beautifully shot by Roger Deakins in washed-out browns and greens that evoke what the world looks like to a man whose every reason for being has turned to ash. What’s more, In the Valley of Elah is a rare assumption of responsibility for what we ask our soldiers to do; how we ignore them when they can’t; and how, as broken men, they victimize both those they’re meant to protect and themselves.
