Movie Reviews of In Pursuit of Honor
Movie Review: Purely fiction
Summary: 4 Stars
Great movie, with good acting! Just don't believe that it was based upon a true story. Rather, there are no facts to back it up and, thus, this movie is pure fiction. The movie is properly entitled, "In Pursuit of Honor". However, I wouldn't go as far to say that this applies to the writer.Movie Review: A butch tearjerker
Summary: 4 Stars
What's not to like? Horses, soldiers, evil generals and idealistic young officers, crusty salt-of-the-earth seargents, plucky women, escape and pursuit, sadness, victory and oodles of male bonding. Don Johnson and the underestimated Craig Sheffer do a nice job.Movie Review: Old Cav'
Summary: 4 Stars
As a cavalry soldier....I found this movie to be very interesting to see a part of our history. As a horse lover I was moved at the dedication of these troopers. I would have rode with them! A peek back in time...nice.Movie Review: They didn't get the Bonus Marches right either......
Summary: 3 Stars
They didn't get the Bonus Marches right in the movie. MacArthur offered tents and rolling kitchen meals for vets, but Congress didn't want the vets to have 3 meals a day during the protest, while 8 million people in US were out of work and needed food as well. FDR offered free transportation to N Y vets to return home. The president offered the rest of vets the same. Most vets left at that point. The Communist Party planned a riot in order to provoke a gov. attack on protesters. FBI fingerprinted a thousand criminals taking part in protest. The cavalry was called in and did not use swords or guns. They used teargas!
In 1948, the Communist Party revealed through publications their part in the march. Several communist party leaders were rounded up at the time.
The rest of the movie, although entertaining, was PURE FICTION!
Movie Review: Well Done!
Summary: 3 Stars
In "Pursuit of Honor" Don Johnson does a very credible job as an aging army sergeant, Sgt Libby, in the US cavalry in the mid-1930s, a time when the nation was changing over the cavalry to tanks. Though the movie purports to be based on real events, the only real event is that the US Army did indeed destroy its horses. This story is just one of those ideas about "what might have happened..." Johnson is convincing as a rough-and-tumble character with an excellent cast around him. He shows no sign of his Miami Vice good looks. See the movie more for what it shows honor to really mean, rather than any of the pretty good action it shows. Honor has a price and Sgt Libby and his fellow soldiers are willing to pay it.
