Paul Haggis's In The Valley of Elah (Warner Independent, 9.21 or 9.28) is more than just a respectable true-life drama, and a helluva lot more than the sum of its parts. I think it's close to an epic-level achievement because it's four well-integrated things at once -- a first-rate murder-mystery, a broken-heart movie about parents and children and mistakes, a delivery device for an Oscar-level performance by Tommy Lee Jones, and a tough political statement about how the Iraq War furies are swirling high and blowing west and seeping into our souls.

The best films are always the ones that don't seem to be doing all that much, but then gradually sneak up on you, laying groundwork and planting seeds and lighting all kinds of fires and feelings. Elah is one of these. It's a damn-near-perfect film of its kind. There's one moment at the very end that could have been played down a bit more (i.e., a little less on-the-nose), but others I've spoken to don't agree. I'm trying to think of other potholes but they're not coming to mind.
Elah isn't some concoction, some tricks-of-the-trade movie that's mainly about pushing buttons and playing audiences like an organ. It's primarily about respecting real-life experience and refining this into art. Haggis's screenplay is based on a true story that happened in the summer of '03, and was first reported a year later in a Playboy magazine article by Mark Boal, called "Death and Dishonor." It came from Boal interviewing Lanny Davis, a former U.S. Army M.P., about the death of his son, who had been reported AWOL following a tour of duty in Baghdad. Haggis bought the rights and created a somewhat fictionalized version, although he stuck to the basic bones.
So let's not hear any carping about this being another bleeding-heart, anti-Iraq War movie by a Hollywood leftie -- it happened. In fact, to hear it from Davis (whom I called the day after I first saw Elah on 6.19), the real story is even darker and more damning.
Elah has been screening for critics over the last two or three weeks, and I know it's definitely skewing positive, but this is one of those times when I don't care if everyone understands how good it is or not. All right, I do care because it's nice to be agreed with and I want to see this film break the Middle-Eastern conflict curse (i.e., the U.S. moviegoer mentality that apparently doesn't want to know about anything Iraq or Afghanistan-y, an attitude that arguably killed or severely damaged A Mighty Heart at the box office) but I know what this thing is and that's that.

Forget Crash, or rather forget whatever resentments you might have about Haggis's film taking the Best Picture Oscar from Brokeback Mountain. And forget the beefs about Haggis writing scripts that are too explicit and surface-y with not enough subtext. Elah, trust me, is a much better, more plain-spoken film than Crash was. It's about real people, real hurt, real tragedy. My first thought after seeing it was that Warner Independent should show it to all the Crash haters in order to put that dog to bed.
Elah is one of those very rare birds that starts out like a what-happened? procedural you may have seen before, and before you know it it's doing something extra, and then something else and then another thing altogether. Before you know it Haggis has four or five balls in the air, and when it's over you're heading out to your car and going, "Hmmm...yeah...wow."
I was thinking at first that Elah resembles David Greene's Friendly Fire, a 1979 TV movie based on a true story about the parents of a Vietnam veteran cutting through red tape to find out how their son actually died. But before the what- happened-and-whodunit? story even gets going you can feel the undercurrent of grief in Jones, whose character, Hank Deerfield, is based on Lanny Davis.
Jones' weathered, old-guy face is full of the suppressed shock and grief and guilt that any parent feels when his or her son has gotten into trouble or otherwise done something inexplicable. And his performance, which is all about feelings being kept in check, like it always is with any old-school military guy, just keeps getting sadder and more affecting.

Haggis originally wanted Clint Eastwood to play Deerfield, but it's a role that has Jones' history and DNA all over it. He owns characters like Deerfield and that sheriff in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and the small-town sheriff he plays in Joel and Ethan Coen's No Country for Old Men, which comes out in November. All of them plain-spoken, craggy-faced Texas dudes with turkey necks, paunchy guts and wells of sorrow in their eyes.
The fact that In The Valley of Elah is a gripping investigative procedural is almost the least of its attributes. I felt I was swimming in holy water five minutes into it. Haggis's early dialogue feels tight and true, and Jones and Sarandon's acting in the early scenes feels like the playing of two master violinists. (There's a sad phone call scene between them that choked me up, and Sarandon has a flash- of-rage moment that pierces right through). Add this to Roger Deakins' cinema- tography and Jo Francis's editing, and any half-aware observer can tell from the get-go that this is very high quality stuff. You just know it. You can feel it happening a hundred different ways.
Red-staters and blue-staters alike are going to get where this film is coming from -- they're going to feel it in their hearts, and make all the connections on their own without going off into specific tirades or defenses.
It's not so much Haggis-the-Hollywood-liberal as the story itself that's making the point here, which is that the Iraq War is primarily responsible for the terrible thing that this film turns on. It's heartening to hear (as Jones' character says at one point) that David sometimes does win out over Goliath -- the title refers to the valley in Israel where their ancient conflict took place -- but the Iraq War is a thousand plunderers and a thousand knives. It is obviously laying waste left and right, and will continue to do so for a long time to come, and for what?

(Iraq is going to suffer a blood bath -- maybe like Ireland, maybe like Rwanda -- and eventually break apart like Yugoslavia and become two or three countries. People have to tend their own nests. There's no other way. It would be nice if it were otherwise, but the hard rain has only begin to fall over there.)
In some quarters In The Valley of Elah is going to be seen in the same light as Grace is Gone (dad-in-denial John Cusack mourning the death of his wife who was killed in Iraq), although it is much more powerful and assured.
Some might be more muted in their admiration, and they wouldn't be wrong or right in expressing this, but I think In The Valley of Elah is an unmistakable Best Picture contender. It's an American tragedy that every last person in this country, from whatever region or persuasion, is going to "get" deep down. Except with aberrations like Chicago, this groundwater quality is usually what gives a Best Picture nominee traction with voters.
I believe that Haggis is now a prime contender for Best Director and for Best Adapted Screenplay. Ditto Deakins for Best Cinematography and Francis for Best Editing. I can see Theron being talked up in the Best Actress category also (her role as a single-mom investigator is much less showy and grandstanding than the blue-collar character she played in North Country), and Sarandon, depending on the competition, could wind up in the Best Supporting Actress category.
Every Elah supporting player delivers a straight-up, no-fuss performance. The best are Jason Patric, James Franco, Josh Brolin, Jonathan Tucker, Frances Fisher, Rick Gonzalez, Barry Corbin, Wayne Duvall, Brent Briscoe, Mehcad Brooks, Brad William Henke and Kathy Lamkin. (Watching it is like a No Country for Old Men old-home week for Jones, Brolin, Corbin and Lamkin.)

I will say I'm mildly heartened based on Jeff's ejaculatory review. But I disagree with the talkback criticisms of Haggis as a director. Every problem "Crash" had (and it had innumerable ones) was a cause of the writing. I hate "Crash" with every fiber of my being, but I thought he did a very good job with "Million Dollar Baby" and "The Last Kiss" but there you go.

This is the exact thing I needed to hear to not be skeptical about the movie. Great review, Jeff.
Can't help but wondering if the fact that this is being released in September will hurt it's Oscar chances a little? From this review it seems like a heavyweight much better suited to late-October/Novemerber-ish.

Crash is hard to deal with when you live in LA and the pilot for The Black Donnelly's was as subtle as a hammer to the face. And The Last Kiss is one of the five worst films I've ever seen in a theater. It's as incompetent as incompetent gets. And PanTheFaun, you said JJ Abrams funded Cloverfield and had no creative involvement. You have no taste and you know nothing.

I don't have much time so listen to me. It's very important that you hear what I'm saying and you really take it to heart. There are some things in this life that are just true. People are going to try and tell you that there is no truth, that everyting is a mess, up for grabs. But I don't see it that way. I've lived by the rules my whole life and I don't have anything to show for it except my dignity. And a life lead with dignity is a life worth remembering. How you treat the people you love and the friends you've made. And you are my friend. I love you so much. You have no idea how much I love you. If you could split open my heart you would see yourself running through me in brilliant red as deep as a Mexican sunset. So that's why I need you to listen to me, breathe in my words. Come closer. I want to tell you something. And what I want to tell you is this: Paul Haggis is a fucking horrible director. People are going to try and convince you otherwise. Do not believe them. For the love of Christ it's all just a trick. So is the white light. Never go towards the white light. That's the biggest trick of all.

I remain skeptical because I hated CRASH so freakin' much. My girlfriend said that "The Last Kiss" was one of the most offensive movies towards women she's ever seen, I vouch her because I wasn't going to watch it. His cameo on "Entourage"...WOW, that kind of sealed the deal for me. that was beyond Smug.
That said, I'll try my best to go in the theater with fresh eyes.
Everyone has a different interpretation of "emotionally honest" versus "manipulative" and "preachy". But it's nice to see Wells say something NICE about a movie.

If this movie turns out to be great, my guess it'll be due to the cinematographer Roger Deakins. From what I hear he has very close relationships with some filmmakers and even helps direct sometimes. Or, so I heard on a recent project he worked on.
The Village, I think, might be Shymalan's best directed film as far as staging action goes. Performances, script and structure is another story obviously.

Roger Deakins shot The Village, that would make sense to mention.
I'm a huge fan of his. On MY list of people most deserving of an Oscar he's at the top.
Fargo, The Shawshank Redemption, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, The Man Who Wasn't There the guy is probably the best at his profession right now (or Emmanuel Lubieski, tough call).

You know what? War sucks. There's no question about it. People die. My uncle died in Vietnam. I spent my childhood at war rallies denouncing Richard Nixon and the Vietnam conflict. My only question is are we racing to close the chapter on Iraq too soon? Are we too quickly trying to lump it into the convenient Vietnam quagmire. Are we caving in to a very emotional, bandwagon mentality that all is lost in the middle east when statistics show that on the ground, militarily violence has been cut in half in Iraq. Yes, the American death toll is consistently the same, but the fact remains that civilian deaths are dramatically down and that IED attacks half been cut in half and that three out of the four provinces are more secure. Yes, the Iraqi government is slow in meeting the President's benchmarks, but there is progress being made. Do we throw in the towel on this war (which I believe was misguided from the get go) and deal with the consequences of an American withdraw and the bloody and dangerous vacuum it will create. The New York Times ran a very good editorial last Sunday regarding this. I hope you all read it... Thanks for listening.

"...but there is progress being made."
that's a lie. No evidence whatsoever suggests the Iraqi Parliament has made any progress. None. The only progress is they actually formed a parliament. 70% of the people are unemployed, not exactly progress in a budding democracy.
"Yes, the American death toll is consistenly the same..."
also not true. American casualties have gone up the last two months, directly linked with the surge of troops present in Iraq.
After nearly 4.5 years of fighting and death, you say "we're racing to close the chapter of Iraq"?? NO FUCKING SHIT!!! After four years, I'm actually sorta hoping this war Ends PRETTY FUCKING SOON!!!
Apologies for the profranity, I do recommend everyone read the NY Times editorial and draws their own conclusion.

Haggis is a fine director whether or not you liked Crash or his screenplays. He clearly understands where to place the camera, how to stage a sequence and get performances from his actors. Whether or not he's too syrupy for your tastes is another matter.
Also, The Last Kiss sucked.

I am neither for nor against the war in Iraq. I don't think it's possible to judge it right now. Here's how I look at it: we lost some 7,000 US troops on D-Day in WWII. One day! If you had asked me on that morning, "Is it worth it?" I'd have said, "No way. End the war now. Bring the boys home." Any rational person would've said that, I believe. 7,000 soldiers killed? For what? Total waste of their lives. But then Hitler was defeated and, guess what, maybe it WAS worth it after all. But I suppose you could argue that it wasn't. I don't know. So that's where I am: Iraq may be a huge mistake, the worst ever in US history. Or, 15 or 25 years down the line, it could be seen as a brave and necessary step in the war against global terrorism. So, get out of Iraq now? Yeah, I suppose so. Maybe. But you also have to admit that the US has not been hit by terrorism again since we've been there. Maybe keeping them on offense is working. Who knows? So that's where I am. As for "Elah," I don't think I'll be seeing it. I hated "Crash" like you wouldn't believe. One of the most annoying movies I've ever seen.

I want to chime in on the excellence of this review, whether I end up agreeing with it or not. I've been avoiding this site in general for a while now due to the soul-deadening crabbiness and misanthropy that festers in a lot of posts. But when Jeff writes about a movie he really engages with there really is very little film criticism that's more enjoyable to read. Good job, Mr. Wells, from a frequent detractor.
And as much as I naturally resist the Haggis, my desire to see Jones swinging for the fences will most likely override that impulse.

Yet another insipid, anti-military, anti-Western values movie by a Hollywood leftie - it's disheartening and embarrassing that these pinheads actually believe America is an immoral country with imperialist oil-driven goals. They grossly harp on the acts of a few convicted criminal morons at Abu Gharib and completely ignore the atrocities of our enemies.
Perish forbid they actually make a movie about the heroics of people (Iraqi, Americans and our allies) who are sacrificing everything to keep us safe and to try to carve a better world. There's a special place in hell for these fools for all the damage their madness is causing

"Perish forbid"? What does that even mean? Since when does Perish get to forbid anything? Fuck Perish and tell it to stay in it's "_____ the thought" neighborhood. We don't need it mucking around in our "Heaven _____" or "God ______" areas!
But, other than that, I agree with Sweetbubba. I can't wait for the movie about that group of heroes that swears to track down the world's leading terrorist mastermind and bring him to justice and does so by attacking a country completely unassociated with said mastermind which ends up draining lives and money from the country and also- wait for this, it's a killer twist- makes the mastermind's terrorist network stronger, as strong as they were before the heroes swore to bring him down! (I don't want to give away the ending, but the mastermind gets away.)
That would be a movie we could all stand up and cheer and it would be true. Which I'm sure you bring you back out of the woodwork to defame it as Anti-American and a danger to Western values. Then again, you would certainly know the forces working against this country and Western civilization more than anyone. You clearly voted for some of them twice in the last seven years.
