Rescue Dawn
This film tells the real-life story of U.S. fighter pilot Dieter Dengler, a German-American shot down and captured in Laos during the Vietnam War. Dengler organized a death-defying escape for a small band of POWs, including Duane Martin. (IMDB)
When I saw the actors who played in the movie, I wasn’t so convinced over the film. Steve Zahn should be in a drama movie? But it actually he did a very good job. I will go so far that he did one of his best performers of all time. Christian Bale was also good, but I wasn’t so surprised that he did a good job, because I’ve seen him in other movies and thought he played very well. Batman Begins and American Psycho are two good examples.
The story was good. Maybe not so weird since the story is based on a true story. The German-American fighter pilot, Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale), gets captured in Laos after been shoot down. The time is set in the Vietnam War. Here you can see how prisoners got treated by the Vietnamese’s.
As you may figure from my first paragraph, I liked the movie. The dialogue between the actors on the set was good and they didn’t do the movie boring. For the guys I can say that it’s not “pure drama” because it happens a lot and it has a sense of thriller and bit of action in it. This made the movie going on. A movie you definitely got to check out!
