I received a free digital screening in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
VALIANT ONE is a military action-suspense thriller major motion picture inspired by true events. Produced and directed by Steve Barnett and cowritten by Steve Barnett and Eric Tipton. Released by Monarch Media and Briarcliff Entertainment. Starring Chase Stokes, Lana Condor, Desmin Borges, Jonathan Whitesell, Daniel Jun, and Callan Mulvey. Rated R.
An Army military unit is sent to repair a communications device near the Korean DMZ. When the weather turns, they have to abort the mission immediately and leave by helicopter. Due to the storm, they crash unexpectedly on the North Korean side. They are told to end satellite communications and find their way to a designated spot so Delta Force can rescue them. The injured commanding officer asks Brockman to take his pistol home to his son with a message.
The survivors make their way on foot with Brockman leading as their highest-ranking soldier. Forced to take charge, Brockman steps up to the duty. As they leave, the dying CO blows up the helicopter as a distraction to give them time to escape. The soldiers also have a civilian communications tech with them, plus a seriously injured soldier. Keeping to the trees for cover, they make their way south, narrowly missing capture.
They encounter a farm where they tend to the wounded member in the barn, but the farmer finds them. Despite the language barrier, they assure the farmer and his family they won’t harm them. Before they can leave in the morning, North Korean troops arrive, and they have a shootout. They take the farmer’s truck to continue their journey south.
They encounter more North Korean soldiers, and after another shootout, they continue on foot. They make it to the designated spot, and then they realize that Delta Force isn’t meeting them there, they’re still behind the border, so they’ll need to find the hidden escape route.
After a careful search, they find the tunnel which will take them to the South Korea side of the DMZ, but which way is south? The compass doesn’t work underground.
VALIANT ONE is thrilling with danger, tension, the dynamics of the soldiers, and the barriers and obstacles they encounter along the way. Brockman learns he has it within him to lead when he has no other choice. VALIANT ONE is a riveting movie from beginning till the end.
