About This Item
In 2003, on the news that his son died in combat in Iraq, recent widower Doc (Steve Carrell) looked up two long-estranged colleagues from his Vietnam service days-foul-mouthed barkeep Sal (Bryan Cranston) and imperious reverend Richard (Laurence Fishburne)-for company and moral support as he journeyed to claim the body. The stunning circumstances of the unfolding trip leave the reunited veterans questioning the sacrifices of two generations, in Richard Linklater's trenchant seriocomedy, adapted with novelist Daryl Ponsican from his semi-sequel to "The Last Detail." 124 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
