The Verdict: A Must-Buy


Seven men with one thing in common...


The legendary Gene Hackman (Mississippi Burning, The Package) commands the screen as retired Marine Colonel Jason Rhodes, a man obsessed, in the powerful, action-packed adventure, Uncommon Valor. For over ten years, Rhodes has been living a nightmare searching for his son who is listed as “missing in action” in Vietnam. After useless appeals to the government for information, Rhodes takes matters into his own hands. With the financial backing of a Texas oil tycoon (Robert Stack, Airplane!) and the help of his son’s five Marine buddies, Rhodes prepares to carry out a dangerous mission. After weeks of grueling training, the courageous veterans leave for Laos. The final battle of the Vietnam conflict is about to begin. Ted Kotcheff (North Dallas Forty, First Blood) directed this explosive actioner with a first-rate cast featuring Fred Ward (Remo Williams), Reb Brown (Big Wednesday), Randall “Tex” Cobb (Raising Arizona), Tim Thomerson (Trancers), Harold Sylvester (Fast Break) and Patrick Swayze (Point Break).
