Men of Honor (Men of Honour in the UK and Ireland) is a 2000 American drama movie. It was directed by George Tillman, Jr. and it was produced by Bill Badalato and Robert Teitel. The movie was inspired by the story of Master chief petty officer Carl Brashear, the first African American master diver in the United States Navy.
The movie got mixed reviews from critics. It has a 42% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[3] Movie critic Roger Ebert gave the movie 3 out of 4 stars and called it "an old-fashioned biopic". He, however, criticized Theron's appearance in the movie and called it "professional but unnecessary to the picture".[4]
