"In the Valley of Elah" is a magnificently acted film worthy of your attention and viewing.
This film speaks volumes through Tommy Lee Jones's eyes and not through excessive dialogue on his part.
In short, due to Amazon's decent synopsis and other high quality reviews that reveal much of the plot, perhaps too much, I will simply say that this film is about the aftermath of war when a vet comes home, disillusionment, family love, and government bureaucracies as a father goes in search of his AWOL son who recently returned from a harrowing tour of duty in Iraq. He quickly discovers that his son... more info

GOOD PERFOMANCES CAN'T SAVE THIS OVERLY LONG DRAMA! 
'In The Valley Of Elah is an interesting story with good perfomances by Jones, Sarandon and Theron, but the film's snail pace had me wanting to fast forward at times.

Typical Anti-war, Anti-American, Hollywood Communist Crap 
Well, the liberals in Hollywood have produced another anti-American propaganda film. To be certain, all war is hell, rotten, miserable, Godless, and ashamedly horrible. Man's inhumanity to man began in the Garden of Eden not the Valley of Elah. And, by the way, the liberal atheist commies couldn't get the battle of David and Goliath correct...no mention of Yahweh, the God of Israel; no mention of who David is; no mention of the insult of the Philistine's against the true God of Israel (the liberals mention... more info
