I have seen "Rescue Dawn" three times by now, and the movie is still as entertaining and impressive as it was the first time around. And the fact that the movie is based on a real story just adds a whole outstanding level to the movie experience.
The story told in "Rescue Dawn" is not your average war drama, so don't expect a heap of gunfights and explosions. This is a war drama that focuses on survival and the ordeal of Dexter Dengler (played by Christian Bale).
I will say that the story is told in a very nice manner; a way that really draws the audience in and puts us right there in the midst of the traumatic ordeal deep in the jungle.
There are some amazing performances in "Rescue Dawn" and a really impressive cast. Christian Bale puts on an amazing performance as always, and so does the always impressive Jeremy Davies. But Steve Zahn is really outstanding in this movie, casting aside his usual comedy roles and really stepping up to the role. All three actors really showed commitment to their roles with their weight-loss and authentic appearances.
"Rescue Dawn" is definitely a movie that should be watched if you enjoy character driven dramas with outstanding performances.
