I bought it as it was a film that I had wanted to see for a long time. It is an excellent film with great actors. The story is great as are the diving clips, and what it would have been like back in the 1950's. There was nothing I disliked about this film, and I would recommend anyone who is looking at it to buy it. One of those great classic films that will never date.

AN HONEST ACCOUNT OF US RACISM. A GRIPPING TRUE LIFE STORY WITH 2 FANTASTIC ACTORS. (ROBERT DENIRO AND CUBA GOODING JNR.) EACH BRILLIANT IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
Superb film with good actors which looks and sounds even better in BLU-RAY ! bought for a good price,the seller was quick with delivery and the disc was in perfect condition.
I bought this for my daughter who already had it on video but didn't have a video player. The price was the reason I bought it for her and the postage cost was excellent. The film is brilliant, she watches it regularly and gives it to friends to watch.
Men of Honour is a great classic movie to have in your collection and watch every now and again. It inspires one to hold on and to stand strong int he midst of adversity and ridicule. A definite must have!
AWESOME - a MUST SEE - gripping true life film - superb acting make the whole film very realistic. An honest account of US racism and how one individual climbs every obstacle that is put in his way
Carl Brashear, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., lets nothing stand in his way. The son of a Kentucky sharecropper, Carl leaves home for what he expcets to be a better life. "Never quit....be the best," his father told him, and Carl takes those words to heart.
He joins the newly intergrated Navy and applys to become a Navy diver in the elite division used for search and rescue. Carl's training officer, Billy Sunday, played by Robert De Niro, wants no part of Carl or his ambitions. He drives Carl beyond the level of normal endurance in an attempt to get him to falter and quit. Over time, the two men establish a respect that will ultimately see them battling alongside each other as they must fight to protect their honour and their lives.
Starring Academy Award winning actors, Cuba Gooding Jr and Robert De Niro, Men Of Honour is an inspirational story about human spirit and determination.
The first time I watched the film, I really felt for the guy they had portrait, how he had to overcome everything, because that was what he was taught from a young age, and how he had achieved every obstacles that came across and dealt with them. Very entertaining and heart warming.
