The 2009 HBO DVD Taking Chance

This DVD presents the HBO film Taking Chance, a drama based on actual events surrounding the escort of a fallen Marine. Kevin Bacon stars as Lt.

Viewers seeking a solemn military tribute

The film suits viewers who appreciate true-story dramas centred on military ritual and personal duty rather than combat action. Buyers wanting extensive bonus features, high-definition Blu-ray quality, or a fast-paced war narrative should look at something else.
