D for dull drama about an officer (Kevin Bacon) escorting an enlisted man's corpse to the funeral, with so little dialogue and movement in the first quarter hour that I started making up a conversation between the officer and his wife, e.g. "Why are you doing this?"/ "It's my duty, Honey."  Ross Katz directed.  The ungrammatical title comes from the dead man's first name being, that's right, Chance.
