RESCUE DAWN

RESCUE DAWN is based on the true story of US military pilot Dieter Dengler whose plane was shot down in SE Asia during the earliest days of the VietNam conflict. Struggling to survive both a brutal POW camp as well as the unforgiving jungle, Dieter's story is nothng short of amazing. The movie, however, doesn't quite capture all that it should. It feels like "just another war movie" when the story is much more than that. There are times during the film when the cinematography looks "off" somehow and you're left feeling like your watching actors on a set rather than soldiers in the jungle. Luckily for us Christian Bale is in the movie so you know you get another sensational performance in the lead role! 3 of 5 hs
