Review of Rescue Dawn (2007) by Scott G — 16 Apr 2011

Christian bale once again shows why hes one of the most ambitious actors working today, film after film he really shows his range, and here is another example, as a pilot shot down during the early days of vietnam, hes captured and spends is time along with other captured prisoners, planning and evently escaping, here we see life as a prisoner, which isnt very pleasent, and the friendsips made, also starring steve zahn and jeremy davies as fellow prisoners, a faeinating watch, quite gritty and especially squemish in places, anything involving animals, a solid story, never gets boring, and if theres one flaw, its the hollywood happy ending, which seems a tad out of place, but bale exellent to watch and I hope he gets rewards for this role.
