Ten years after his son went M.I.A. in Vietnam, U.S. Marine retired Colonel Jason Rhodes assembles a private rescue team to find Americans held in P.O.W. camps in Laos.
A Marine Colonel who was dismissed because he wouldn't give up on the notion that his son, who's an M.I.A. in Vietnam is still alive. Nearly ten years after his son went missing, he obtains evidence of where he might be, a P.O.W. camp. So with financial backing from the father of another P.O.W., he recruits some men who served with his son. With photos he obtained, he makes a replica of the camp and they work out a rescue operation. But the government tries to stop them, and when they are about to go, their weapons are confiscated. So they have to find other weapons.
This movie is not the "true Vietnam" experience. For that, see only 2 films: Apocalypse Now and Hamburger Hill. All the rest are baloney, or worse. (OK, it's now 2008 and I'm editing this to include We Were Soldiers as another great Vietnam movie. It captivated me utterly and took me back, as did Apocalypse Now. When it was over I was unable to move from my seat until after the cleaning crew had finished.)
Uncommon Valor, however, is still a great Vietnam movie for all to see. It's uneven as hell, so you have to be flexible. I suggest you have fun with the goofball stuff, appreciate the combat bonding stuff, gloss over the obligatory linkage stuff. Watch closely as each Vietnam veteran is recruited and introduced, and learn. Then enjoy what you will of the characters and the actors who bring them to life. (I mostly loved them.)
I was an Infantryman in Vietnam. This movie is the only Vietnam movie, the only one, that ever brought tears to my eyes. I was amazed at the power of its ending. It was overwhelming to me.
When it comes right down to it, take this movie seriously.
American forces going back into Vietnam to settle a score, now there's a well-worn premise for an '80s movie. But in all fairness, Gene Hackman blazed that trail for Norris and Stallone. "Uncommon Valor" is as manly as they come, wielding a righteous cause and a well of brute testosterone. And for a great deal of the running time, it's a by-the-numbers war movie. I have to admit, that's not really my thing, so I started drifting after awhile.
It's a good cast, but Hackman deserves high praise for his sympathetic performance. The damn thing opens with him stalking the streets of Bangkok in hopeless search of his POW son. Washington's no help and his desperation is palpable. The stake are a lot more real when he's around.
6/10 Stray thought: what is with the milquetoast pop songs that end these '80s 'Nam movies?
The basic idea of Uncommon Valor is so interesting that it's all they can do to make a routine formula movie out of it. But they do.
Yes, the concept that American prisoners of war were still being held in Southeast Asia was extremely prevalent in the early 80s (the Vietnamese communists not releasing some French prisoners until 16 years after the Indo-China war). It was taken seriously enough that ex-Green Beret Colonel Bo Gritz organised a private rescue mission (on which this film is based) but was persuaded to call it off by the US government who were organising their own rescue attempt using the Delta Force. In his autobiography former Delta Force member Eric Haney (writer and co-creator of the series The Unit) states that this mission was effectively scuppered when Gritz held a news conference revealing his own efforts in order to draw attention to the issue. Gene Hackman's character is widely thought to be based on Gritz whilst Robert Stack's is based on Texan billionaire Ross Perot who was deeply involved in the Vietnam MIA/POW campaign. In 1993 a meticulous inquiry by Vietnam war veteran Senator John Kerry and former Vietnam Prisoner of War Senator John McCain concluded there was no proof of any prisoners being retained in Southeast Asia after the end of the conflict and the subsequent opening up of Vietnam following the collapse of the Berlin Wall has not revealed any evidence of US servicemen being held against their will. a5c7b9f00b
