Amazon.co.uk Review

Notch up another great role for Tommy Lee Jones here, as his starring performance in the lead of In The Valley Of Elah is a further acting performance of real merit. And this from the man who has already recently added the equally excellent No Country For Old Men to his CV.

In The Valley Of Elah, however, is a very different beast. It’s the new film from writer/director Paul Haggis, he who previously brought us Oscar-winner Crash, and Jones stars as Hank Deerfield, a man who decides to take matters into his own hands when he finds out that his son has disappeared. However, what complicates matters is that Deerfield’s son is a soldier on leave, and the military are proving to be little help in getting to the bottom of the mystery.

Yet there’s far more to In The Valley Of Elah than that, even though its narrative is interesting and surprising. No, there are real layers of drama here, and none more obvious than those surrounding Jones’ character (the lead actor, incidentally, snagged a richly-deserved Oscar nomination for his work here). He’s an understated, yet brilliant, creation, and one quite wonderfully brought to life. In conjunction with Susan Sarandon as his wife, and Charlize Theron as the detective he enlists the help of, In The Valley Of Elah emerges as one of the most unfairly overlooked films of recent times, and one that’s ripe for discovery on DVD. A superb piece of work. --Jon Foster

4.0 out of 5 stars In The Valley of Elah, Blu-Ray, 23 Feb 2009
By Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
`In The Valley Elah' follows Tommy Lee Jones as he investigates the death of his son who has retuned from a tour of duty in Iraq and was murdered on a night out from base. Jones plays the roles of father perfectly and draws on his own military experience to aid Theron's character as she investigates the death further. The story is interspersed with footage the son shot in Iraq on his mobile phone, which fleshes the back story out and leads to a disquieting conclusion. Jones and Theron both acted superbly and Sarandon's role was shamefully small and with a steller supporting cast, the acting was amply taken care of. The storyline was ok, it lacked a certain tension you come to expect from these detective murder type stories, but it still managed to get you second guessing and intrigued whilst you watched. I feel Jones performance in `No Country For Old Men' to be better than this, but he certainly seems to be on a roll at the moment, picking class acting roles and performing them to perfection. For a couple of hours of solid acting and a fairly good murder thriller type story, set against the timely backdrop of the US war in Iraq, you can't do mush better than this. Worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much needed Masterpiece, 5 Dec 2008
This movie is a masterpiece..

It begins kind of slow.. and from time to time I wondered about certain things why we are being shown this or that, but there isn't any wasted time here - not a single second!

The movie is deeply symbolic and some of the things came to me only after I was done watching it. Others I noticed the second time I watched it (yes, it is that good).
You might not recognize it all at first, and that's ok, as you will probably still like the movie, but once it all comes together, it is - as I said in the beginning - a masterpiece.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb performance by Tommy Lee Jones., 16 Aug 2009
By pointone (Bournemouth UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
In The Valley Of Elah [Blu-ray] [2007]

Tommy Lee Jones gives a great performance as humourless, stubborn and relentlessly persistent Hank Deerfield, long retired Military Policeman investigating the disappearance of his son immediately on his return from Iraq. By brilliant acting he commands attention in an extremely demanding role.

The military try to brush him aside but he obtains help from Det. Emily Sanders (Charlize Theron) and they gradually develop a mutual respect in a kind of father daughter relationship in roles that are the heart of the film.

As a father finding out what happens to his son this film is brilliant, however there is supposed to be a subtext of the plight of young US soldiers returning from Iraq, and this is so sketchy that one learns very little, just a little more in the documentaries.

The title refers to the David and Goliath story, a metaphor I assume for the little man, Hank versus the giant, the US military.

Totally engrossing film with exceptional acting.
