Man Ly A must see underrated movie. Incredibly moving! Powerful acting and drama. Based on real-life events makes it even more introspective. If you want to know what happens after someone pays the ultimate sacrifice, this is the movie to watch. I know it won a Golden Globe, but this is a story that deserves more!

Ken I was unaware of this movie until the end of 2016 when it appeared on Amazon Prime Video. Kevin Bacon being a great actor, and having done very good movies, I figured let's give it a go. I wasn't sure what to expect regarding the movie plot. I also did not realize it is based on true events. It was very moving, and very eye opening in regards to the respect and tribute given to a fallen soldier. I highly recommend a viewing but will forewarn that it is a sad movie. Nonetheless, it is also sort of inspirational knowing that a fallen soldier is not just passed off with a courtesy call notifying the closet kin. It is the least our government and militia should provide when a tragedy of war does occur.

WalterSoprano I must say the movie is not for the action hungry. This movie shows the touching journey of escorting the dead body of Chance Phelps (based on actual events). This film deserves a 10/10 for how touching and lovely this film is.I must say the first 2 times although it is a very short movie I did fall asleep but the third time I watched the full movie and was very moved. I literally just watched the movie minutes away from writing this review.When the screen went to black and the credits rolled I was glued to the couch with the thoughts of the movie. My heart was thumping through the movie in a non suspenseful way but a sort of sympathetic way. If you are a immature idiot or a young person stuck in a false reality you will not like this movie at all.

namashi_1 Based upon the experiences of Marine Lt. Col.

This film is a letter to a Hero, who fought for his Country & died. I Personally Salute Chance Phelps & Every Other Patiriot who have lost their lives, in order to serve for their country. 21 Guns Salute! The Screenplay, Written by Lt.Col. Michael Strobl himself, is Wonderful & even cinematically, it engages & moves you. Ross Katz's Direction is Under-Stated.Kevin Bacon's Performance as Marine Lt. Col. Michael Strobl is Mesmerizing & I don't mind saying that for the third time. Bacon broke my heart with his portrayal. If 'Taking Chance' were a Feature Film, I'm sure, Bacon would have won an Academy-Award for Best-Actor for his work in here. Bacon is a Master!On the whole, 'Taking Chance' is an unmissable GEM.
