Sinopsis(1)
Carl Brashear (Cuba Gooding Jr.), no deja que nada se interponga en su camino. Carl, el hijo de un pobre granjero de Kentucky, abandona su hogar esperando mejorar su vida. "No te rindas... sé el mejor," le dijo su padre, y éste nunca imaginó cuan profundamente iban a calar estas palabras en el corazón de su hijo. Carl se alista en la Marina y solicita un puesto como buzo naval en la división más elitista que se dedica a la búsqueda y rescate. El oficial de entrenamiento de Carl, Billy Sunday (Robert De Niro), no quiere saber nada de Carl ni de sus aspiraciones y, le conducirá más allá del nivel normal de preparación con el propósito de que tenga algún fallo y abandone. A medida que pasa el tiempo, los dos hombres establecen un respeto que hace que se cree una lucha común por proteger su honor y sus vidas. Una historia inspirada en el espíritu humano y la determinación. (20th Century Fox España)

Robert De Niro's pissed-off pose was already seen in much better form (supported by a better script and director), and Cuba Gooding Jr. also doesn't exactly show off his acting skills. It's not that George Tillman Jr. completely failed in the director's chair, Men of Honor has decent potential, a few solidly thrilling, pathetic, and romantic scenes that will evoke mostly mixed emotions, but it suffers from a lack of creativity and a certain unfinished syndrome. Unfortunately, it also doesn't lack those typically wannabe strong and profound moments, which fortunately, aren’t many, so they can be endured and a three-star rating can better capture the average.

Affected American soap-operatic sludge with a cast that evokes grand ambitions. But all the masters stumble.

It’s a film that deserves about a 60% rating. It's still an interesting story, even though it's presented with an incredible amount of pathos, which was evident from the beginning and, of course, fully utilized. It's a shame because Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert De Niro deliver brilliant performances again, especially Robert. But in the end, it's just another movie about the steadfastness of the human spirit.
