- 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"
