Tommy Lee Jones turns in a terrific, low key performance as Hank, a father looking for his AWOL son in the army. Having a former military investigations background helps Hank in picking up leads to follow, which leads him to his son's army base and the town that it resides in to look for answers to his son's disappearance. Charlize Theron does a nice job as a detective not all that respected by her male peers, mainly due to her gender, but she manages to provide some help to Hank, and Hank begrudgingly returns the favor with his years of investigative experience. The mystery is little too telegraphed in spots, but the tone and acting performances transcend the scripts shortcomings here and there.
I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
