The Lucky Ones

     It's a shame that this movie wasn't given more of an opportunity to find an audience. If you missed it on the festival circuit or weren't in one of the selected cities for it's limited theatrical run, then you have to hope you're lucky enough to randomly come across it on cable.
     The story deals with three soldiers who are returning from Iraq and find themselves thrown together on a cross country road trip. All three are returning due to injuries but only Tim Robbins was discharged, Rachel McAdams and Michael Pena are on 30 day leave.
     It's pretty well written as far as the characters are concerned. The resolution for one of the characters is an impossibility but if you can overlook it, you'll make it remaining three minutes to the credits.
