Editorial Reviews

Product Description

One of those rare films that grabs you by the gut and never lets go, Men of Honor was inspired by the life of Carl Brasher (Cuba Gooding Jr.), an African American who dared to dream of becoming a U.S. Navy Master Diver. Despite a bigoted training officer (Robert DeNiro) and a tragic shipboard accident, Carl never gives up and achieves the impossible in an incredible finish that will leave you cheering.

Amazon.com

Men of Honor presents a great role model for younger viewers, yet it's rated R due to abundant use of the F word. With appropriate discretion, parents should allow their preteen and teenaged children to see this rousing if altogether conventional biopic inspired by the life of Carl Brashear. Played with gravity and gumption by Cuba Gooding Jr., Brashear was the first African American to become a master diver in the U.S. Navy, despite the lingering effects of segregation, opposition from Navy brass, and the amputation of his left leg following a tragic on-duty accident. Robert De Niro adds marquee value and salty bluster as Billy Sunday, the drunken, redneck (and fictionalized) Master Chief who watches, with gradual admiration, as Brashear attains his ultimate goal through sheer force of will.

This is all quite uplifting on its surface, but in attempting to hit the requisite highlights of an inspiring biography, director George Tillman Jr. (Soul Food) reduces Brashear's achievement to a succession of clichés, forcing Gooding and De Niro to battle sentiment with their noteworthy performances. As Sunday's neglected wife, Charlize Theron is completely extraneous; Hal Holbrook's diving-school commander is a ranting caricature; and newcomer Aunjanue Ellis barely registers as Brashear's wife (in part because their obligatory romance is handled with an utter lack of finesse). There's no question that Brashear's efforts are heroic and worthy of recognition, so Men of Honor serves its basic purpose. Still, one can't help but wonder if Brashear's story would be even more impressive with a more authentic treatment. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 starsA film for American Justice
By Mignon Holland Anderson on October 9, 2016
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
An excellent, brilliantly acted film that clarifies and faces the existing racism so often authorized and practiced by official government organizations - in this case, namely by the U S Navy - and proves such policies have no place in America at any level. Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Robert DeNiro are priceless in this film, backed by strong, fact-based writing about how African American sailors have been treated, as well as their courageous efforts and those of decent whites, in their well-fought Struggle to win just treatment.

By Golden Falcons LLC on July 23, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This movie ranks next to a time to kill in its impact on as society that refusees to admit there is a serious problem. The uneducated or put in front of the cameras, but they are not really the one to observe it the one in powerful position. and this movie paints crystal clear examples of a system that is collapsing daily. What would you expect its base on a system that failed, the Roman Empire. And the founding fathers knew it would fail the moment it move away from an agrarian system.

5.0 out of 5 starsSo Inspirational
By Samuel Lewis on September 19, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Men of Honor continuously reminds me of the great obstacles African Americans had to overcome in order to achieve the great feats that they have. It is so inspirational! It encourages me to do my best in everything that I do because compared to my ancestors and the individuals that paved the way for me, I have it so much easier then they did. I love movies that are about historical events that inspire you to want to do something great. I recommend this movie for anyone.

5.0 out of 5 starsRequired viewing for all Navy past present and future
By John R. Olson on January 24, 2013
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Great movie on multiple levels. The armed forces desegregated by presidential order in '49. Be that as it may; the Navy was the last service to truly desegregate. There were mechanisms in place to keep segregation going until well into the late 1960's. This is a true story, with a bit of Hollywood aded, about a black man attempting to be a Navy diver. My neice just joined the Navy and before she left for boot camp I rented this on Amazon so we could watch it together. For you Mk V Mod O divers of my generation you'll enjoy a trip down memory lane to beautifull Bayonne NJ Dive School. In my estimation, the best Navy movie ever made.

5.0 out of 5 starsa Film that Tells a Story Well
By Ryan J Miller on October 7, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is definitely one film that I never get tired of watching. Like a previous reviewer, I too am fond of underdog movies where the underdog comes out on top in the end, in the midst of overwhelming odds. I have a disability that prevents me from driving, so even though the opstacles in Karl Brashear's way were different, they are still obstacles to goal achievement, so I feel a kind of kinship with his character. This is what made the story appealing to me. The Blu-ray version provides excelent sound, and, I understand that the picture looks very sharp too, but I wouldn't know that.

4.0 out of 5 starsVery inspiring and great acting.
By Roger J. Buffington TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on November 3, 2002
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is the story of Carl Brashear's career as a US Navy Diver in the bad old days of the 1950-1965 time period, when black men were pretty much not wanted by the US Navy except as cooks or valets. But Brashear is simply the best, and he overcomes this dreadful prejudice. That is what this story is about.
Cuba Gooding Jr. does a powerful job portraying Brashear. De Niro's performance as the racist southern Master Chief is so realistic it almost has to be seen to be believed. His eventual friendship with Brashear is inspiring, and is the best part of the movie. Most of the other characters in the story are minor, but in this case that's OK. This is a really fine movie that will shame us all but also inspire us to do better.
I usually prefer movies that portray America and the military in a better light (because mostly they deserve it) but occasionally a movie like this one is necessary to help us see the darker side of things.

5.0 out of 5 starsMen of Honor
By Marsanik Lapp on January 14, 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a true story that makes you cry and anyone inspired to go do things and think about it after the movie. It is as inspiring as a new goal or program. My father lost his leg in a lumber mill and went back to the mill after amputation and knocked out a wall, climbed ladders with weights like this guy and learned to run and skip again. It shows will and brute strength to overcome amputation whether you relate it to navy diving of the first black man ever that made it into that school of the Navy or your dad who was going into the Veitnam War like mine who lost his leg at a mill and what you can accomplish no matter what if you DO NOT QUIT. I sent this to my father and my 75 year old roommate who was 43 yrs Airforce admired it to in Korea and Veitnam personally. We could not leave the screen for the third time!
