Has anyone seen this movie with Kevin Bacon? My wife has this up next on our queue on netflix and I need to know if I should bump it or watch it. It does have 4-1/2 stars.

I thought it was very good and very touching. He's escorting a soldiers body home while going through his own personal issues

Good movie.

I like the people's reaction when they knew what he was doing while traveling on the road.

Excellent movie. Very understated acting and directing and yet very emotional.

Casualty Assistance Offices on some Army posts tell potential Casualty Assistance Officer's to watch the movie because it's more accurate than any training movie they could have made.

GREAT movie, highly recommended.

I have it on my external and probably watch it at least twice a month.

IMO, accurately captures the spirit of "flyover" America while also respectfully showing one of the things the government does right by giving one of it's fallen an escort to their final destination.

Kevin Bacon does a great job. I've been wanting to watch it again.

excellent movie. it sat on top of my TV for a month, before I worked up the nerve to watch it...knew it was going to be emotionally rough. definitely worth watching, though.

I watch it about every 3 months. 4 1/2 stars does not do it justice. Should be required that every American watch it.
