The movie tells the story of a war veteran (Tommy Lee Jones), his wife (Susan Sarandon) and the search for their son, a soldier who recently returned from Iraq but has mysteriously gone missing, and the police detective (Charlize Theron) who helps in the investigation.

Where son's mission is over after being missing in Iraq, his retired father's mission starts........ It is a touchy movie. | | | | Reply | | |
