Critic Reviews for USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage
All Critics (12) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (10)
This slapdash war movie doesn't do justice to its compelling subject matter.
Not exactly unwatchable, but it's also completely not worthy of watching.
The film's leaden treatment of this incredible story somehow sucks all the drama out of it.
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.
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.
As a dramatic postscript to the factors that led to Japanese surrender, its power and importance are undeniable.
Audience Reviews for USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage
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.
