The best way to sum up this movie in a few words would be : a perfect representation of an Americanised version of Okuribito. All the features that made Okuribito stood out during the Academy can be found in this film. The beauty within all the small movements and facial emotions from every characters paying their respects to one who died for the country, the art of the mortuary from the cleaning process to the burial, the self-realisation journey of the main character while escorting a comrade back home etc.
Regardless of the fact that this movie is decently made but still has room for improvement, there were several powerful moments in this film that made me ponder if it is really under rated
