is quite a quiet movie without any hustle and bustle. The whole film is filled with that kind of faint sadness, which is appropriate to keep your moving in your heart and eyes without venting it out. It may be very American, but the regret for the loss of life is indeed the same.

I wasn't particularly impressed with Kevin Bacon before, although I knew he was quite famous, imdb and found that I was not impressed with his roles in JFK, Frost/Nixon, and after watching this kind of hollow man, I didn't even have a movie Not to mention impressions. But after watching this film, my affection for Kevin has grown sharply. His interpretation of Colonel Mike in the film is very good. He has deep unease and guilt in his heart, but he has to hold back the whole process, until the last mantra reveals the natural truth. , and the interaction with people on the road is also unpretentious. But his performance will not be so eye-catching that the audience ignores the plot of the movie itself, which is quite natural.

I really didn't expect to see such a touching film at the end of 2009. It is definitely the work that moved me the most this year.

PS Is it because I have watched too much NCIS, I always have a special affection for Marine, and I am very excited to hear Semper Fidelis.
