Rescue Dawn – Movie Review

Just finished watching this movie today, and it was so well directed and written. I was really impressed.

This movie is set during the beginning of the Vietnam War, and is based on a true story. A fighter pilot’s plane crashes over Laos and he gets by Laotians. After being put into a camp with other prisoners, they all become agitated and hatch a plane to escape. In the end, himself and his friend end up escaping. And after a long journey, a helicopter finally picks him up by himself. (His friend was killed during the journey.) When he gets back everyone is over the moon.

This movie is one of the best stories I have watched turned into a movie. Even though I think the movie could have been edited a bit more, and not be so long, I really enjoyed it. I would rate this movie a 9 out of 10.
