One Man's Hero tells the little-known story of the "St. Patrick's Battalion" or "San Patricios," a group of mostly Irish and other immigrants of the Catholic faith who deserted to Mexico after encountering religious and ethnic prejudice in the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War. The plot centers around the personal story of John Riley, an Irishman who had been a sergeant in the American Army who is commissioned as a captain in the Mexican army and commands the battalion, as he leads his men in battle and struggles with authorities on both sides of the border
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
It has every element necessary to be a classic, and it never comes anywhere near achieving that potential.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Has the stuff of a cavalry classic...but it lacks the vision and personality to attain such a level of artistry.
Suffers greatly from both a visibly constrained budget and an extraordinarily dated feeling.
