sez says:  great movie...all the acting was good but Harrelson was better than good, he was great.  He deserved to be recognized.  This is an anti-war movie/story.  It is done from a new perspective. It follows two men who are assigned to tell families that a loved one has been killed.  Having to see the suffering of the families who have lost loved ones in the war is hard--but it is part of the cost of war that if hidden from the public. ANd it is an effective way to say no to war.   Grade A
