   Why does Paul Haggis 'in the valley of Elah' work so well?

   • Paul Haggis ‘ “In the Valley of Elah” is built on Tommy Lee Jones’ persona, and that is why it works so well. The same material could have been banal or routine with an actor trying to be “earnest” and “sincere.” Jones isn’t trying to be anything at all. His character is simply compelled to do what he does, and has a lot of experience doing it.

   Is in the valley of Elah a happy movie?

   • The answer is not a happy one. It's difficult to discuss the plot of In the Valley of Elah in any detail because it unfolds slowly. It's a good 20 minutes before we even learn of the crime, a murder, whose resolution will take up the bulk of the film.

   Is in the valley of Elah a light touch?

   • It's not a light touch. But by this point it's become clear that, for all its technical sophistication, its fine performances and narrative nuance, In the Valley of Elah is a simple-minded film, a thuddingly one-note tone poem about how the Iraq war inevitably turns innocent boys into soulless monsters.
