Rescue Dawn (2006)

A U.S. Navy pilot is shot down during a bombing mission in Laos in 1965. He is captured and made prisoner. Based on a real story.

This film derives most of its strength from verisimilitude. It is sacrificed only in the admitted downtoning of torture; the acting, on the other hand, is a strong asset.

Rating: 69
