IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH (2007) - Mar. 28, 2009
A well directed but really slow-paced film about a man who investigates the disappearance of his son, recently returned from the war in Iraq. Tommy Lee Jones was particularly good as the father out for answers. The main problem with this film is that it wasn't all that interesting; it essentially played out like a really long episode of Law and Order, with far too much emphasis placed on the minutia of the investigation. It was okay for the first little while, but it was kind of dull and after a while I started to lose interest. I was never all-out bored, I guess (thanks mostly to Jones' performance), but it certainly could have been better. **1/2
