Synopsis
When a model soldier who recently returned to the U.S. from the front lines of Iraq goes AWOL, his veteran father enlists the aid of a dedicated police detective in seeking out the true fate of his son in director/screenwriter Paul Haggis's eagerly anticipated follow up to the Oscar-winning 2004 indie-hit Crash. Inspired by a Playboy Magazine article written by Mark Boal, Haggis' fictionalized version of the actual events stars Tommy Lee Jones as the concerned father, Susan Sarandon as his wife, and Charlize Theron as the detective who vows to uncover the truth behind the Iraq War veteran's strange disappearance. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
