Rescue Dawn Review

Rescue Dawn is based on a true story about a group of prisoners that try to escape Vietnam captivity. This is a very suspenseful because there were times that you really didn’t know what to expect next. I felt extreme compassion for the men that were just trying to get home.

Rescue Dawn doesn’t make an outright political statement about the war. Instead, it takes you through the personal journey of the men that tried to escape this area and return home. I won’t spoil it for you and tell you what happens. But it is amazing some of the things that the men did such as save rice portions that they dried at the bottom of their bathroom canteen.
