Their relationship starts out on the rocks, but fate ultimately conspires to bring the men together into a setting of mutual respect, triumph and honor.

New York Post
In-depth performances by De Niro and Gooding Jr. provide the oxygen for this extremely shipshape biopic.

Chicago Sun-Times
It isn't about thrills and explosions, but about tenacity, and most of it takes place within our own imaginations.

Dallas Observer
If you don't view it too analytically, Men of Honor provides almost more uplift than a body can handle.

Entertainment Weekly
Educational and upstanding, a little overacted and more than a little overdramatized. But it's honorable.

Philadelphia Inquirer
A stalwart military inspirational.
