 good film October 24, 2005
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
ever since i saw this film back in the early nineties i have always enjoyed it (yes it was made in 1983 i saw the repeats on tv). the characters were played by good actors eg gene hackman, fred ward and patrick swayze. randal tex cobb always seems to play the same character in all his films not in a bad way as hes entertaining in this film. the action still manages to entertain especially the final sequence when they go into the prison camp. take away all the politics and treat it like a film and it is a good film. thats all it is a film and not a have a go at communism by the americans . some one thought the story would make a profit so they went ahead and made it anyone who sees more than whats in the film has some issues. so good film.
 great action December 24, 2004

The "Missing in Action" in Vietnam theme has been tackled by a number of films and various tv episodes.pThis is one of the best, with well handled combat scenes, and a decent cast, though the actual action takes a while to get going.pThe MIA issue is a controversial one still, and topics like this - the brutalities of the Soviet-Bloc controlled North Vietnamese invaders against the South Vietnamese people aren't often covered.pWhilst on the surface a conventional action film, it does try to move away from the false picture of US involvement in Vietnam painted by so many other movies.pHighly recommended.
 Rotten American Rubbish July 3, 2004

Ever since the Vietnamese threw Uncle Sam out of their country the Yanks have found the taste of defeat difficult to bear. Hence they have invested an awful lot of money, not in compensating the Vietnamese, but in making dire films that portray the Americans as heroes in that war. 'Uncommon Valour' is just such a film. Whilst not harbouring the spaced-out sadism of 'Apocalypse Now' (although script-writer John Milius was involved in both), the self-pity of 'The Deer-hunter' or the thick-headed propaganda of 'The Green Berets', 'Uncommon Valour' is mined from the same vein of racist tripe that seeks to portray the Vietnamese as faceless killers and the Americans as unblemished heroes. brThe story is simple. At the begining of the film we see soldiers being left behind as their troop zooms off in a helicopter. They are captured by the Viet Cong. After the war Gene Hackman, the father of one of the stranded soldiers, returns with a crew of Vietnam veterans, most of whom were on the helicopter at the start of the film, to rescue the two captives. Cue all kinds of macho mayhem as actors who look as though they've never seen a gun before lurch around killing the kind of oriental stereotypes that were popular in WWII anti-Japanese propaganda. There are, of course, 'good Vietnamese', who are enamoured with their American saviours and are happy to take a bullet for them. And there are heroic deaths as lunk-head Americans lay down their lives for their friends in an orgy of destruction. But these things, far from enobling what we're seeing, only serve to increase the acidity of the film as it gnaws away at your sensibilities.brThe Americans have never made an honest film about their role in Vietnam. And I bet they never will either. 'Uncommon Valour' is just another reinforcement of the myth that the invaders were victims and that the people whose country they invaded somehow have no right to be there.brThere is nothing to commend this film. The most notable actor - Gene Hackman - is one of the best and just why he turned up in this is a mystery. Perhaps he wanted to give action movies a go, who knows? But all we see is a superlative actor slumming it in the worst way. Doubtless it is fans of Hackman who will buy this. But they will be dissappointed. If you are a fan, and you do want to see a film with the great man in it, spend your hard-earned cash on something like 'The French Connection' or ... hell, any of his other films, all of which are much better than this. This film does not deserve your money or your time. It is an insult to the intelligence, is feeble and obnoxious and ought to be avoided like the plague.
