Survivors of War: In the Valley of Elah

Best Thing: This must see film deals out realism behind family lines when a soldier son dies.
Worst Thing: Although the title isn't telling...
Anyone caring about the war in Iraq, supporting the soldiers, the claims of so many cases of PTSD, and the dear families just trying to cope should rush to see this ill-titled film. Sarandon has a minor but rivoting role as the mother of an AWOL soldier son just returned from Iraq. TL Jones is the driving force to the truth of the cause of the death of his son. Soldier survivors can be the walking dead; dehumanized and violent back at home. Family survivors ache from the gut - Sarandon is incredible here. The military and civilian police try to work the murder on U.S. soil. You be the judge of TL's persistence and final trail to the truth.
