Rescue Dawn (2006)
7/10
Overall Good movie
23 January 2008
I am big Christian Bale fan, and of course, as soon as I heard about "Rescue Dawn", I had to see it. This is not Bale's best moment, but he is still able to pull off the character of a fighter pilot. There are a few memorable scenes that real affect the viewer. One of the negative things about movie is the lack of development. We do not get to learn much about the characters. But regardless of this, "Rescue Dawn" is still worth watching. It may not be the best movie of the year, but it is worth the time. I would compare this movie to the likings of "Behind Enemy Lines." But unlike "Behind Enemy Lines," "Rescue Dawn" is not filled with bullets flying everywhere, and things exploding. "Rescue Dawn" is more about the survival aspect of P.O.W. In one scene, you see Bale picking up a few pieces of rice and eagerly eating. You can't help but feel sympathy for the prisoners who look like they are just walking skeletons.
