In the Valley of Elah - A Movie Preview

August 28th 2007 06:51
In the Valley of Elah
Can't say much for the poster
This years Oscar contenders seem to be made up of three major categories: costume dramas, crime dramas and war protests. With a dirth of such pictures already firmly in the running for the grand Hollywood prize (and several fortunes being wagered on it all the while) another must join their ranks.

The poster may not be much but fortunately the trailer speaks volume. In the Valley of Elah is the contraversial story of a family whose son dies in suspicious circumstances having just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. Not to be silenced in the face of obvious incompetence, the boy's father (Tommy Lee Jones) begins his own investigations aided all the while by police detective Emily Sanders (Charlize Theron).
Co-starring Susan Sarandon and James Franco and directed by Paul Haggis, In the Valley of Elah has all the appearances of a well-constructed, well-played thriller, with enough references to present political events to give it a contraversial sting in its tail.
Though it faces stiff competition from such heavyweight new war-pictures as Lions for Lambs, Charlie Wilson's War and The Kite Runner, it still has potential.
In the Valley of Elah will be released in the US later in September. It's Australian release date has not yet been announced. Chances are it will be out sometime early next year.
