You know those Sam Fuller movies, like Big Red One? This is one of those.

Valiant One, not unlike its protagonist, moves briskly, but in the end, says little.

Variety

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.

Fairly engaging and pretty well done. Low budget, but well done.

Culture Mix

Valiant One is a clumsily constructed action flick about U.S. Army members who are stuck in a forest with North Korean opponents. All of the characters have cardboard-like personalities. The Army characters' bad decisions are more valueless than valiant.

Flickering Myth

Valiant One is competently constructed and nonetheless coherent, but you’re better off watching Army recruitment videos; they have the same jingoistic messaging without being disguised as a bad movie

Rated: 1.5/5

So it gets a little bump for being loosely based on a true story.
