Notes et avis

I've saw dozens of Kevin Bacon's movies, and this one I couldn't help but feel he got right in to. Knowing he was playing a part of actual events, it's as if he actually was Marine Colonel Michael Strobl. He played his part well, which, for me, gave this movie all it's meaning and purpose. It was a very moving, & thought provoking subject that I knew nothing about.. A wake up call I'm glad I was given, which makes me have that much more respect to the men and women that put it all on the line, so that we can feel safe at night. Oddly, it just reminded me of another movie; "A few Good Men" and one scene in it, where that Colonel's famous words where, "You want the truth?...."

On word describes both, the movie and Mr.Beacon RESPECT. Ty. Sir.
