IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH (2006)

Tommy Lee Jones gives a stoic, concentrated performance as a retired military investigator looking into the disappearance of his son, who turns out to have been murdered while on leave from the Iraq war. Jones may have the most expressive beat-up aging face in Hollywood. Weary, sober, the pilot light of hope and humanity flickers there but never dies.

Thwarted by the indifference and turf war between the local and military police, and the stonewalling of both, he teams up with a newbie investigator (Charlize Theron) who is fighting her own battle for respect with the local police good old boy establishment. Together they get to the bottom of the crime. There are losses worse than death, and the wrenching denouement in this acclaimed anti-war drama left me reeling from the implications of the collateral damage that still haunts the misbegotten war in Iraq. Based on a true story. Directed by Paul Haggis (“Crash”, “Babel”). Susan Sarandon.

Irreversible. It is a french thriller. Very disturbing scene.

Se7en (Seven) - the dark, brutal and unforgettable critique on modern society's acceptance of the 7 Deadly Sins. Saw it on opening night in 1995. Directed by David Fincher (a brilliant filmmaker with such style)...no other movie like it.

Great Movie, well acted.
post #2850 of 4015
Interesting, senore01 - I was going to mention that the acting was incredible and backed off. We can all agree: Morgan Freeman - amazing; Kevin Spacey - wicked and genius delivery. But, people forget that Brad Pitt (in his "raw-form roles") such as Seven, Kalifornia, and Fight Club...he is totally natural and his "acting" is superb, because he is pretty much being himself. Replace him in those movies and they don't carry the same impact or energy.

Cheers!
