The script by Cam Cannon and co-producer Richard Rionda Del Castro is frustratingly unfocused, jumping from incident to incident while using Cage's flat, whispered narration to fill the gaps. Nov 10, 2016 | Full Review…

Every expense has been spared: The sets are either claustrophobically limited or anonymously empty; the period detail is nonexistent; and the special effects are on par with a Syfy original. Nov 9, 2016 | Rating: D | Full Review…

As a dramatic postscript to the factors that led to Japanese surrender, its power and importance are undeniable. Nov 9, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Cage remains uncharacteristically subdued in the lead role. Or perhaps I'm misinterpreting his complete boredom. Nov 10, 2016 | Rating: D | Full Review…

One can't help but be mortified for Cage. A bargain-basement would-be WW2 epic with hilariously poor CGI and an abysmal script. Oct 14, 2016 | Rating: 2/10 | Full Review…

A World War II epic about the cruiser that carried the A-bomb, and was disastrously torpedoed, never finds its dramatic life. Nov 6, 2016 | Full Review…

A mediocre historical drama, USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage is the harrowing story of survival against incredible odds. In the summer of 1945 the USS Indianapolis embarked on a covert mission to transport the atomic bomb and during its return the ship was sunk by a Japanese submarine, leaving over 900 sailors adrift in shark infested waters. Featuring Nicolas Cage, Tom Sizemore, and Thomas Jane, the cast isn't too bad. However, the script is awful; it's extremely heavy handed and is full of cheesy and clichéd dialog. The special effects are also really bad (particularly the CGI) and look cheap, as do a lot of the sets. And unfortunately the shark attacks are ridiculous (Jaws: The Revenge kind of ridiculous); with the sharks jumping out of the water to get at people. Still, it's an interesting story with a fair amount of suspense and intrigue to it. Yet while it has its moments, USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage just isn't up to the challenge of bringing this story to the big-screen.
