Uncommon Valor

Uncommon Valor

Uncommon Valor Watching this movie, with headsets, I found the audio an annoying distraction.  I got the distinct impression that no live audio was recorded and if it was, never used.   The sound effect treatment was anything but realistic much of the time.  It seemed that no live Foley work was done but rather sound effect library was the source of sounds.  The dialog, all or most, sounded like ADR, which came across as unrealistic a lot of the time….

I thought the music, at times, was far better than the action and more enjoyable which shows you how distracted I was from the action. The plot was utterly unbelievable. The plot could have been twice as good with a rewrite by a good screenwriter. If…
