The Messenger (2009)
An incredibly powerful story of 2 military men assigned to the thankless job of notifying the next of kin of fallen soldiers. Amazing dialogue, ethical debates, and without a doubt some of the year's best performances (Woody Harrelson is already up for a Golden Globe for his role, and I wouldn't be surprised if he'll be up for the Oscar as well.).
Recommended to anyone looking for an intense, character-driven drama. Fantastic film.
