Audience Reviews for USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage

  • Jun 24, 2017
    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.
