Reviews

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
Christian Bale plays Dieter Dengler and this is one of the actor's most complex and compelling performances.
90
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano
Aside from a riveting adventure story that Herzog tells in all of its terrifying, stripped-down simplicity, Rescue Dawn is a fascinating study of human particularity.
83
The A.V. Club - Unnamed
Their bond lends this more or less conventional POW escape film resounding emotional depth.
80
Newsweek - David Ansen
As taut and exciting as many edge-of-your-seat Hollywood escape movies.
70
New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
The film, Rescue Dawn, is so good it makes you wish that Herzog had gone Hollywood earlier in his career. His pet theme is here: man tested against nature, his sanity more precarious than his body.
