New York Post - Lou Lumenick
In-depth performances by De Niro and Gooding Jr. provide the oxygen for this extremely shipshape biopic.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
It isn't about thrills and explosions, but about tenacity, and most of it takes place within our own imaginations.
70
Dallas Observer - Andy Klein
If you don't view it too analytically, Men of Honor provides almost more uplift than a body can handle.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum
Educational and upstanding, a little overacted and more than a little overdramatized. But it's honorable.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer - Desmond Ryan
A stalwart military inspirational.
