Reviews for Men of Honor
De Niro may be the only thing standing between Men Of Honor -- itself a tipoff of a title, for who really wouldn't rather see Men Of Shame? -- and complete stuffed-shirt dullness.

Top CriticMen of Honor may be square, but in recent years we've had all the hip we need in the movie theaters.
01/01/00
The film's lack of pace -- each conflict is drawn out to epic lengths -- bleeds the passion out of the picture.

This is one motion picture that only puts half of the pieces together.

Top CriticTillman's sense of fun that keeps his film from sinking too far or too fast.
01/01/00
If you can live with a certain by-the-numbers approach, this [movie] is a rousing one.
01/01/00
Top CriticAn underwater drama that just about drowns in its own sea of heroism.
01/01/00
If only [Gooding and De Niro] were in a better movie.
01/01/00
I am glad to know the story of Carl Breshear, but I wish I had read it in a newspaper.
01/01/00
It's still entertaining and clearly benefits from solid and engaging performances from Gooding and De Niro, but it isn't as good as it could and should have been.
01/01/00
It is set in the 1950s and '60s and actually feels as if it were made back then. And that's exactly what's good about it
01/01/00
If in the mood for a didactic 'feel good' movie about racism, Men of Honor is a far more intelligent choice than the insipid Remember the Titans.
01/01/00
Stiff, sentimentalized and-yes-shallow.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe possibility of failure is not allowed in this film; as a result, there's no real drama.
01/01/00
Fails to inspire in nearly every way.
01/01/00
Truly honorable
01/01/00
Men of Honor leaves you wanting to know more, and that's not a bad thing.
01/01/00
Top CriticEveryone behind the camera goes for the conventional.
