Rescue Dawn Reviews

7/10

saw it back in the day expecting nothing, came out high on it. 7.7/10

Strange and hallucinatory
Not bad, but still unreal

Love a good search a rescue movie. Bale F’ing killed it

a great watch, Bale never disappoints, nothing bad to say about this one

For a 2007 movie after he did Batman begins I’m sure he regretted this. CGI was horrible, audio was horrible and they did a lot of sneaking around/whispering where sound is key. I’m picturing a random in his role and this movie was a 5/10 at best.

Only watch if you really like POW or Batman.

A great on the edge survival story carried by Christian Bale’s extraordinary performance. He truly is one of our greatest actors that can’t turn down a great performance.

This film was pure adrenaline and survival. It wasn’t too riddled with nationalist propaganda, and more so the experience and torture Dieter Dengler went through in his escape from prison during the Vietnam war. Brutal but watchable.

Rescue Dawn

boring

Lame and underwhelming. Shot weird, bad character deaths and disappearances. Just all around lame. Could’ve been 45 minutes and twice as good.

Bale was bitching to the Vietcong about how he was gonna shit himself. Felt so odd.

Just never really clicked for me

7.5/10

9.2/10

Survival is all about the state of the mind.

7+

Criminally overlooked as a top ranking war movie. Bale is intense as always, but credit to Steve Zahn for one of his best outings. This one features one of the most disturbing, out-of-nowhere death scenes in war cinema. How is this not talked about more?!

the whole is good but slow. the ending where they escape is when it's boring.

Great movie, a must watch.

I’m not sure why, but I haven’t heard anyone talk about this film! Christian Bale is fantastic as always! Even Steve Zahn shows of his acting chops in a role more serious than I’ve ever seen him in before. But the real surprise was Jeremy Davies! This movie is slept on!
