Media Author Review
United States
Variety
"All of the top talent involved - especially Gene Hackman - is hardly needed to make Uncommon Valor what it is, a very common action picture."
United States
Boston Globe
"With Ted Kotcheff's hackneyed direction and Joe Gayton's cliche-ridden script, this version of "Missing" for the soldier of fortune set is one of the most reprehensible exploitation films of the year."
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"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."
United States
TV Guide
"Hackman's performance, beautiful photography by Stephen Burum and Ric Waite, and some effective action direction from Ted Kotcheff make this watchable"
United States
The New York Times
"Action fans may well find 'Uncommon Valo'r enjoyably familiar, but for others it will smack of war movie dej a-vu, despite the new angle"
