Valiant One, not unlike its protagonist, moves briskly, but in the end, says little. Go to Full Review
Richard Kuipers Variety Jan 31
An unpretentious B-movie made with A-grade effort, Valiant One packs decent action and mostly sturdy drama into the tale of U.S. soldiers whose mission near the DMZ goes haywire and leaves them stranded in North Korea. Go to Full Review

K Feb 28 Falsely advertised as based on a true story. See more Gary G Feb 22 So it gets a little bump for being loosely based on a true story. See more AJG Feb 12 Excellent movie made you think about our heroes that protect us See more gary l Feb 11 Definitely held our interest and at times had us sitting on the edge of our seats. I dont think youll be disappointed See more Sam B Feb 10 I like the action. Enjoyed very much See more Devin Feb 7 Amazing story throughout whole movie, till the ending. Could’ve used a little bit more and not so rushed See more Read all reviews
