January 20, 2008This is to the people that are saying that this movie was only great at the action packed parts. I don't want to be mean or this to sound like a lecture, but don't you guys appreciate what Dieter did for us. This movie is a true story, a memoir of the life of Dieter Dengler, not a fictional shoot 'em up movie. The director was sticking to the truth, he wasn't going to stretch it to make Dieter sound more heroic. So please...think about the main idea of this story, and honor this man that faced such horrors, that most of us will never even get close to except in movies. This man was truly incredible, and a true hero. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Steve Zahn and Christian Bale, but this movie is about Dieter Dengler and his brave deeds, not Zahn and Bale's great acting.

October 29, 2007this film tells the real-life story of U.S. fighter pilot of German-born Dieter Dengler, who dreamed of being a test pilot and thus made his way to America, where he joined the military in pursuit of his obsession to fly. On his first mission in Vietnam, he is shot down and captured by Vietcong guerrillas. if you like war movi then watch.

August 2, 2007I felt Rescue Dawn didn't explore the torture side of this movie. It felt easy. Easy to escape, easy to survive, easy. When I watch a movie about being captive I want to seriously hate the guards. I want to feel the contempt and the suffering the prisoners are going through. Sadly, I didn't feel this when watching Rescue Dawn. It felt like a palpable version of the story. Don't get me wrong, the acting was done well and I did get feel myself getting emotionally concerned about the characters. However most of this happened after the initial torturing and captivity.

July 17, 2007I really want to see this and the original documentary: Little Dieter Needs to Fly (http://www.flixster.com/movie/little-dieter-needs-to-fly). Also check out Werner Herzog's interview with Terri Gross (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11782309). You'll find the story behind the story even more remarkable.

May 1, 2007I just saw the trailer and I have to say that it looks pretty damn good. Christian Bale seems to provide a great performance as usual, so I'm really looking forward to seeing this one.
