Is Robert De Niro turning into a bus shocker! After all, you wait ages for one of his films and then two come in consecutive weeks.

"Don't look at me. I haven't got the tokens."

Sadly, they don't have the quality to be deemed a five star winner. They're not bad (last weeks offering was 15 Minutes) but they're not great.

Men of Honour is the true story of Carl Brashear (Gooding Jr). A quality swimmer, he manages to overcome racial prejudice and move from being a farmer's son to the first African-American US Navy diver.

"So let's get this straight. No one has seen the tokens?"

De Niro is the over-the-top head of the diving team. He shouts a lot, drinks a lot and hits his wife a lot.

It's not a subtle performance.

Having said that, director Tillman Jr has shot the movie beautifully. He builds tension, uses music intelligently and produces some lump-in-the-throat moments.

However, despite it being based on a true story, you can't help thinking you've seen it all before.
