Movie Review: "Rescue Dawn"

A boy movie. With Christian Bale. Excellent choice.

It was good. Nothing spectacular, but worth seeing. It's about a pilot who was gunned down over Laos during the Vietnam War. It wasn't annoyingly inspiring, like some of these movies can be. There wasn't a girl he was trying to get home to. Basically it just showed his will to escape and survive. I liked that.

The acting was good. I liked Christian Bale's accent in this one, and Steve Zahn did an excellent job as a fellow prisoner.

Warning, however. There is a little bit of torture toward the beginning. Nothing gorey, but enough to make you think that people can be completely sick. It moves on from there pretty quickly, though, getting to the actual story. And like I said, it was good.

And that was the first of my boy movie nights.
