This one stars Woody Harrelson, who I consider to be a worthy actor to watch. The story is about a injury recovered marine who gets assigned to bringing the bad news of a soldier's death to his/her first of kin. He gets instruction from his superior in this business (WH) about the pitfalls of such situation, such as, transference and counter-transference (psychological terms– please google to find about). But he disregards because of his own mental state that craved for 'care and be cared'.
A nice drama shot with a limited budget. The film also stars many well known actors and actresses. The pace of the story is slow but never dull. It brings to notice the stress in jobs that could be considered by many as 'relaxed'. The mental battering these messengers go through going about their job is well brought out.
My personal rating is 2.5 out of 5
