#5  HBO isn't really Howlywood - think of Band of Brothers....

#3  I briefly served with LtCol. Strobel back in the late 80's/early 90's. He's an honorable man and evertything you'd think a Marine should be. I've done some reading on this film and Mike and the family were very adamant that the film stay true to the real story and the memory of Chance.

#2  I'm suspicious about this movie because I just can't believe that Hollywood is capable of doing justice to the memory of a true hero. I'm going to wait until others see it first and give a review. I'm afraid that ultimately this will just be another sermon on the futility of war. Nothing would be worse than allowing Hollywood swine to profit off a good man's death for their own cynical purpose.

#1  I looked at the trailer and read some of the background and the website. I don't see how a 6'2" man who served in the military can keep a dry eye during this movie. I had a hard enough time just trying to read the information
