Review title: Rescue Dawn
Product review: While the story is true and the writer/producer/director captures many true details, this remake is one of the worst movies about Viet Nam I have ever seen. The hero, the late Dieter Dengler, is a true life iconic US Navy hero with an absolutely remakable story of mental preparation, bravery, escape, evasion and rescue. He was a legend when I was a new Navy pilot. Unfortunately, this is one of Christian Bale's worst acting jobs and the pervasive terrible technical details like the silly uniforms and the wrong helicopters really detract from the story line. Not all the details were accurate, like the passport in the boot. It should have been a German passport.Still, everyone should probably either read about Dengler or watch this movie for it's historic significance, if nothing else. It's just really too bad it wasn't done better with a real budget.Tom Ballou, CAPT. USN (ret.)
