Frans B Notwithstanding factual issues, it provides insight into a niche world where nothing works the way you would predict. Gooding jr and De Niro excels in character. Convincingly executed and presented Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Kyle M Dramatized extents would pile up to the point of questioned accuracy, from sequential choices per filmic artistic license to infrequent depth that effectively provokes, especially with this setting it shows dishonorable hypocrisy through the military veins. According to the plot dynamics, the film was formulaically scripted around that to inspire with a generic message regarding pushing social boundaries refined by one’s underestimated possibilities, thus personally structuring a powerful story. Oft times provocative then transfixed with cheerfulness, this subject-driven film beneficially relies on Cuba Gooding Jr.’s peaked performative inspiration representing aspirational motivated hopes and Robert De Niro’s soulful turns with strong buildup for ultimate deliverance at the end shows militaria strains. (B+) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Sean S The two leads do an incredible job to make this morning entertaining, but the story is somewhat flat and given the true history behind this movie makes me wish they stayed truer to it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Steve D Formulaic and perhaps playing too much with reality but it works. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member De Niro and Cuba Gooding Jr worked awesome together in this really nice and interesting drama that ran in a brilliant pace. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review ronald h Come on, folks. Its impossible not to like this movie. Yes, it's riddled with clichés: the underdog guy fighting against all odds to reach his goal (in this case, a black man fighting racism in the U.S. Navy of the early 1950's); the racist sergeant who treats the new recruit like dirt but ends up respecting him; the long-suffering wife who stands by her man through all his travails; the glorious climax, with swelling orchestral music as he makes it to the finish line. So what? It's a tried and true formula (and a true story), and what's wrong with heroes? We need them. Robert DeNiro knocks himself out as the nasty sergeant. He really seems immersed in his character. Cuba Gooding is impressive as Carl Brashear. The supporting actors are strong, too. It feels like all of the cast knew they were making still another "hero" movie, so they wanted it to be a good one. "Inspirational" films tend to invoke cynical reviews, simply because they've been done so many times before. Well, I'm an inveterate cynic myself, but I'm not embarrassed to say that this film inspired me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
