Taking Chance

chance The other night we finished watching Taking Chance (2009).  From Wikipedia:

Taking Chance is a 2009 historical drama based upon the experiences of Lt. Col. Michael Strobl (Kevin Bacon) escorting the body of a Marine, PFC Chance Phelps (posthumously promoted to LCpl), back to his hometown from the Iraq War.

I liked it.  It has a very deliberate pace, which is appropriate.  There aren't any Chance flashbacks.  At first I thought that was kind of unusual, but then I decided it was unusual in a good way.  All of the ritual involved in bringing a soldier's body home was interesting too...something I'd never seen before.

I give it 4 out of 5.
