Review

pretty good film about the soldiers who have to give the next of kin the news about their dead loved one. it’s a rough job to be sure and it’s an interesting angle from which to approach the subject of war. it’s not an anti-war film or an unflattering view of the military complex or anything. it’s just a sober and even handed view of the facts as most people probably see them. woody harrelson was real good. he was also at the screening at the mill valley film festival and we saw a q&a with him. pretty funny guy.
