roeddog -> "Taking Chance" A movie review (3/4/2009 8:30:43 PM)

Hi all,
I just saw this movie today and all I can say is wow! From the IMDB plot here is the synopsis of the movie
"Based on real-life events, Lt. Col. Michael Strobl (Bacon), a volunteer military escort officer, accompanies the body of 19-year-old Marine Chance Phelps back to his hometown of Dubois, Wyoming."
I rarely get emotional, the good Lord just didn't see fit to wire me that way, but by the time I got to the end of this movie I had gone through a half roll of Scotts TP. As it says, it's based on real life events, so I don't know how much of it is "real" and how much "artistic license" but if even half of the events as portrayed happen to our kids when they take their final journey home... well I don't want to spoil the movie.
The movie is totally a-political which is good, it leaves it up to the viewer to decide their stand on the war.
Amazon link to the movie.
I know it's not much of a review but if I say too much it'll give the movie away, sorry.
