One of Kevin Bacon's finest performances! I have watched this movie many times. Kevin portrays a marine that feels guilty for not returning to Iraq to fight & instead gets a desk job. He volunteers to escort a young Marine home, who was killed in Iraq. He travels to the base where the deceased soldiers arrive & are prepared to be sent home. The movie shows a height of care, respect & dignity our fallen heroes receive & deserve! I was impressed;)

Taking Chance I've seen this movie several times and I am always deeply moved....and yes cry through most if it. The love and care taken by the Marines in caring for their fallen comrades is very touching. Great movie and I highly recommend it.

Amazing No words can express how deeply moved I was by this portrayal of human compassion. I highly recommend this film. Possibly Mr. Bacon's greatest work. Be prepared to shed lots of tears, as the emotion portrayed is unlike any other film.

Proud! I challenge anyone to not be touched by this movie. It is by far the most emotional movie I have ever experienced. Excellence in acting and a story that lets the viewer have an insight to a journey that can pull at your heart strings and yet instill pride to the care and honor bestowed to those that gave all for our country.
Taking chance A must see movie for all military families an friends.
Beautiful! Get your tissues! Great movie about the respect and dignity of our fallen men and women.
Stunning movie in its simplicity. Nothing extra to obscure the story of the sacrifice the soldier and their family gave for the rest of us.
Good movie that's how it really is too, I know because I brought home one of my best friends.
A great movie You should follow the after stories with his fellow Marines. It's even better.
Great movie..... It's beyond anything I seen.... touch my emotional side... God bless our troops... and thank you all for service..
Taking Chance is a wonderful movie that makes you appreciative of the amazing qualities that people can possess.
