In the Valley of Elah

It doesn't have the huge band of detractors that Crash had (especially after its shocking Oscar victory), but the anti-Haggis crowd is already throwing out some pot-shots sight-unseen. However, advanced word has said that Elah is a stronger film than Crash in almost every way.
