Drama. Action
The story ultimately revolves around two "men of honor"; their relationship, their individual and joint failures and triumphs. Carl Brashear is determined to be the first African American Navy Diver in a time where racism is rife. Leslie Sunday is his embittered trainer, determined to see him fail. Fate, challenges and circumstances eventually draw these two men together in a tale of turbulence and ultimately triumph.

---|---|---|---|
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "Educational and upstanding, a little overacted and more than a little overdramatized. But it's honorable" | POS |
United States | Rolling Stone | "An old-style biopic with its heart in the right place. There won't be a dry eye in the house" | POS |
United States | Miami Herald | "An effort to turn Brashear's life into a larger-than-life sermon, Men of Honor almost manages to make it all feel like an overbearing crock" | NEG |
United States | Variety | "A by-the-numbers inspirational biopic (...) Still, Robert De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr. are eminently watchable" | POS |
United States | rogerebert.com | "The movie is an old-fashioned biopic, and I mean that as a compliment (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
United Kingdom | BBC | "De Niro's theatrics detract from the rest of the cast's subtleties and ultimately reduce an entertaining popcorn flick to a mere endurance test (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" | NEG |
