Synopsis
A group of Vietnam War veterans are re-united under the leadership of retired Colonel Cal Rhodes (Gene Hackman) whose son is still thought to be in Vietnam as a Prisoner of war. With the aid of a rich businessman, whose son is also a POW, the men train and embark on a dangerous trip back to the far east in an attempt to bring back these and other American POWs.
Critics' reviews
  • "All of the top talent involved - especially Gene Hackman - is hardly needed to make Uncommon Valor what it is, a very common action picture."
  • "With Ted Kotcheff's hackneyed direction and Joe Gayton's cliche-ridden script, this version of "Missing" for the soldier of fortune set is one of the most reprehensible exploitation films of the year."
  • "The basic idea of ''Uncommon Valor' is so interesting that it's all they can do to make a routine formula movie out of it. But they do."
  • "Hackman's performance, beautiful photography by Stephen Burum and Ric Waite, and some effective action direction from Ted Kotcheff make this watchable"
  • "Action fans may well find 'Uncommon Valo'r enjoyably familiar, but for others it will smack of war movie dej a-vu, despite the new angle"
