So this is an HBO movie starring Kevin Bacon as a Marine whos job is to make analysis of the casualties in Iraq and tell people how many soldiers they should send back into to Iraq to replace the ones who have died.
He feel guilty for taking a desk job to stay home with his family when soldiers are out there dying he feels like he should be there too, and watching the casualties list day in and day out gets to him. One day he sees a man from his hometown and decides to be the bodies escort.
I didn't even know the military did that but it was very interesting to see how respectfully they ship the bodies home, clean them along with all their personal effects, then this marine went with the body to be delivered to the family. It is something I have never heard about so I found this short movie only 1 hour and 10 minutes very nice. At the end you learn the body he is taking home was only 20 years old. I think that was the hardest part of the movie the realization that a young man not even old enough to drink a beer died serving his country.
So my take is see Taking Chance almost no bad language and no violence just a very sad story.
