Critic Reviews of "Rescue Dawn"
NPR.orgOctober 18, 2008Rescue Dawn may not feel much like a Herzog movie, but it's a gripping real-life thriller.
Entertainment WeeklyAugust 20, 2007But just as exciting -- maybe even more so, for those who love the medium and, especially, the uplift of the great-escape genre -- Rescue Dawn is a triumphant Werner Herzog movie.
Film.comAugust 13, 2007Herzog builds this movie around another strong, eccentric performance from Bale, who is gaining a reputation for outsized talent and for downsized physicality.
St. Louis Post-DispatchJuly 28, 2007Although the film delivers the expected action and efficiently jacks up the suspense, longtime devotees of the director will undoubtedly miss the visionary qualities that have long distinguished his work.
Miami HeraldJuly 27, 2007It's easy to understand why Herzog was driven to tell this story twice.
Detroit NewsJuly 27, 2007Takes what could have been a mundane if well-made war story into something greater -- more harrowing, more hungry and more human.
7M PicturesApril 28, 2014Unlike a traditional Hollywood movie, Rescue Dawn follows the pacing and irony of real life. It is far from predictable and far from formulaic.
Suite101.comSeptember 17, 2010Werner Herzog isn't interested in patriotism as product placement, like other directors might be. Though uncommonly somber, "Dawn" is still an engrossing prison-break film. It's not "The Great Escape." It's "The Sheer, Dumb Luck Escape."
DCistJune 09, 2010Dumps traditional war movie bravado in favor of a subtler touch, and softens the blow of an unspeakable ordeal by shooting it amidst a series of jarringly beautiful and poetic canvases.
Boston PhoenixApril 23, 2009Bale's lack of ambiguity points to the biggest limitation of a film that makes the grade as an adventure yarn by ignoring the most disturbing implications of its story.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsApril 09, 2009Not the typical Chuck Norris movie, but just as rancid in its own "edgy" pretentious manner.
