Not only this movie dares to open subjects longly avoided in the U.S. movie industry, it is one of the rare movies that show the naked truth and how the war on Iraq affected, still affecting, and will always haunt young American soldiers (especially Latin American mercenaries dreaming of a U.S. citizenship) . Instead of making heroes out of G.I's and terrorists out of Iraqi's, this movie excels in showing the adverse effects of the Iraqi war on young American soldiers. It Does so without rising the debate whether the war on Iraq is justified or not. It does not only show the atrocity of the Iraqis towards the Americans, this time it's the other way around. In a world where people got tired of watching movies showing the Americans heroes turning into ruthless terrorists all who does not agree with their politics, reiligions and other beliefs, often far away from what's really happening. They even lately made it in busting terrorists in the middle of Riyadh, KSA. Rambo destroyed a whole brigade by himself.
This movie is unlike other fairy tales, this movie shows the truth, as it is, that the violence is only faced by violence. "We hit a dog". 13 years old boy is not a dog no matter whether he's an Arab, a European, a Muslim, a Christian, a Black or a White. One of the most touching moments of the movie where "Mike"or "Doc" stepped on the little boy in the Humvee, he stepped out to take picture of the scene as if this was his last picture. Nothing is more touching than Tommy Lee Jones Hanging the U.S. flag downward as a sign of distress, the fact that made him furious in the beginning of the movie.

This is a heartwrenching look at how the Iraq war affects a group of young veterans. The performances by Tommy Lee Jones surpasses even his portrayal of the sheriff in "No Country for Old Men" and he truly deserved the oscar nomination he received. All the acting was outstanding and the film deserves to be seen by more people

I haven't posted many movie reviews on Amazon, but after watching "In the Valley of Elah" last night, I have to give my opinion. I have been a military wife for the past fifteen years. My husband has served in both Bosnia and Iraq. I can honestly state that I was offended by the movie. Returning soldiers are depicted as soul-less, murdering, inhuman monsters. In the film one soldier drowns his dog AND his wife and other soldiers brutally murder, chop up and burn one of their own men, run over children, desecrate dead bodies, and torture prisoners. I am sure that atrocities have been committed by a select few in every war, but this film is SO anti-military that it is shameful.
I can only speak from my own experience, which has been that my husband and his fellow soldiers returned from Iraq and have all been upstanding citizens who have proudly served their country. None of them have murdered anyone or have turned into soul-less monsters after returning from Iraq. I'm saddened to think that people are giving this movie four and five stars and might actually think that this is what members of the armed forces are like.
I am giving the movie two stars on the basis that the performances were strong and the story was interesting. As a military wife, I give "In the Valley of Elah" zero stars.

Tommy Lee Jones,Susan Sarandon and Charlize Theron are the reasons I decided to watch this movie. They didn't let me down. It's "R" rating is very fitting, but anything less would have ruined the genuineness of the story (rather like Shawshank Redemption). This movie was not easy for me to watch as a 63-year old Grandmother, but when it was over, I was glad I did. Gut-wrentching but unfortunately real.
