Men of Honor Reviews

Gooding is the ideal actor to portray Brashear. Not only does Gooding perform the physical demands of the role, he also meets all the emotional challenges. It is an unforgettable performance.

inspirational message plays well to mainstream audiences

Stirring story--may be appropriate for some teens.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 26, 2010

Brashear is all sheer determination and nothing else, displaying none of the vulnerability that would make him into a believable human being.

This seaman's tale languishes in shallow waters.

Strangled with formula.

The decision to shift some of the attention to De Niro's character...dilutes the power of Brashear's fascinating life story.

...a well-made throwback to the days of old, when telling a story was what mattered; not special effects or flashy editing.

The performances, especially De Niro's quiet rage, occasionally lift Men of Honor above its predictability

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 15, 2002

a pair of potentially fascinating characters at its core, two wonderful actors in the lead roles and a boatload of good intentions. So why does this telling of the life of Carl Brashear seem enervated rather than invigorating?
