What the deep voice says:
""Your son is missing" its the phone call every soldier's father dreads. What Hank Deerfield had never thought to fear that is call would come when his son was home in the U.S, on leave from service in Baghdad. Facing military indifference in the disappearance, Hank decides to take matters into his own hands and discover the truth about what's happened to this son. With the reluctant help of police detective Emily Sanders, Hank embarks on a journey that will bring him against the closed ranks of the armed forces and the harsh realities of modern warfare. "
What we say:
"Tommy Lee Jone's best performance for a decade makes him a favourite to receive an Academy Award. Despite that, like Born On The Fourth Of July and Rambo before it, the movie's American theme will probably be more poignant to its domestic audience."
