Taking Chance. Kevin Bacon is the main character.

An officer volunteers to escort a fallen marine that died in Iraq back home.

It was absolutely brilliant and touching.

I have to totally agree. I NEVER get worked up or emotional about a movie, they just aren't that good most of the time. But this one has so much symbolism in it. What makes it so emotional isn't the acting (which is well done by the way) but the fact that the STAR of the movie is a marine who was KIA in service to his country. You never see him until the end of the movie when they show a montage of the real-life Lance Corporal Chance Phelps growing up as a little boy, a teenager, a young man, a marine and finally a fallen hero.

I have a thing for war movies in general. If you enjoy this genre at all, this is a MUST-SEE. Totally gives you the other side of the coin. I bawled my eyes out at the end of the movie during the credits....the build up to that was just overwhelming.

Like Bacon's character says at the end of the movie:

"As long as Chance's body was still moving I felt his life was still not finished yet. But once he was laid to rest, I knew he was gone. I miss him."

Seriously.....5 out of 5 stars flick.
