Should have been filmed in the real Valley of Elah in central Israel


...just west of Jerusalem. To this day, the grand views of the Elah Valley from the biblical Sokhoh and Azekah mountains are magnificent and greatly enhance one's ability to envision the unfolding of these events. To me, immediately realizing that the production crew opted to film in Morocco instead of the Holy Land undermined the authenticity of the story, and had there been Israeli actors who could have quoted certain passages of the Holy Scripture in its original Hebrew would have made the reenactment of this inspirational story all the more meaningful.
