favorite actor Tommy Lee Jones.Simply fabulous.He shows the anguish of the father searching for his soldier son returned from Iraq in every move of his body.Have you seen it?

I am a great fan of Tommy Lee Jones. I think he is a very talented and intense actor of this era. Having said this , I am yet to watch the movie, it sounds interesting. Hope to watch it soon.

Crash - A fine portrayal of the melting pot of America.
It is Tommy all the way.It is the one of the best movies I have seen recently after the Oscar winner Crash.Strangely both are directed by Paul Haggis.Mimpi If you haven't seen Crash I strongly recommend it for you.

tommy lee jones is one of my favorite actors, too. although i haven't seen this movie, i can just imagine how he carried himself in that one. you can be sure that i will buy a dvd copy of this if i can find one. otherwise, i will ask my son to search it for me in the net. the story seems to be a very good one. something that can be expected of tommy lee jones, as always.

I just watched it last night and I agree with you totally. I thought it was an amazing character study. You got to kind of "get inside" Tommy Lee Jones' Vietnam veteran head as well as get a feel for what our troops endure in Iraq right now and how hard it is to adjust when they return. I thought both Jones and Susan Sarandon, even though her time on screen was short, really embodied the grieving parents with each grieving in their own way. Annie
