I watched this film Sunday night. Very moving.

With gratitude from The ConservativeXpress to all of our men and women in uniform.

Thank you for your service. Every American should see this film.

Wish I could watch it but we don’t take HBO. HBO usually just has garbage for programing.

Kevin Bacon did a very fine job. Chance is a very moving, respectful movie. Shows America’s goodness.

It came on just as I was going to sleep. It was so gripping that I watched it until 1am. And that’s saying something given that I could have TiVo’d it.

Very, very well done. Hard to believe that it came out of Hollywood.

Also, I just saw “The Shooter”. Five stars on that one too.

Watched it Saturday night with some friends....My only problem was it was too short, 1:13. Some good friends of mine saw it AT Quantico with Kevin Bacon and a ton of Marines. That had to be a rush...
.
VERY good movie...

Very low key and very powerful. No political agenda and shows the good side of Americans as a fallen soldier is escorted to his final resting place.

“I got so mad at that TSA official!”

I’m not so sure that wasn’t done just to give Bacon a chance to express in a straightforward way the high level of respect he gives to his uniform and what it represents.

Who wants to record it and send some DVD’s around for those of us who refuse to pay for HBO?
