Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best of all the '80's Vietnam movies
This movie was forerunner to all the other '80's Vietnam movies with a storyline of finding MIA's in Vietnam. By far it is the best of them all! My wife is not a big fan of military movies but even she loved this movie. I would pick this movie above any others including the Chuck Norris series (Missing in Action) or even Stallone's Rambo (First Blood Part 2). If you get only one Vietnam MIA movie...this is the one you need.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Never leave a man behind

There's only one good scene. It's when in his dream, Gene Hackman saw his son, at that time, he was ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Uncommon Valor Is Reality.
Uncommon Valor is a outstanding motion picture that should be viewed by politicians and war mongrels around the globe. Gene Hackman in Uncommon Valor gave his true feelings and thoughts of a government who leave their men behind in wars (POW's). This movie should and shall be rated above all war films, due in part because the men deplicted on the film fought for freedom of men that their government had forgot. And the men on the film had to lay their lives on the line for real this time with a righteous ... Read More
