I enjoy Bale more and more every time I see his movies. This guy can act.

A good movie set in the viet-nam era. I liked how the escape was plotted out and the acting was quite good. Good jungle scenes as well.

After seeing, I was quite bored by the whole thing. It's not that it's a bad movie but it's just that the movie is to long. The acting is excellent in this but since the story is too long, you lose some of the effects of the acting. I wasn't a fan of the director before this movie and am sure ain't a fan now so this may be a good movie for some of you but for me it wasn't.

I can't really say anything bad about this movie except that its real boring. The acting is good and the story is pretty straight forward... Theres just nothing else, I wasn't even convinced that there affair was all that bad, the directer could have done a lot more with this movie.

A very gritty prisoner of war and escape movie set in Vietnam with very realistic jungle scenes. Perhaps the movie seemed to drag-on at times - but it always stayed with the main story and did not deviate. I would have liked to have known what happened to the prisoners left behind and who were these Asian prisoners and why did they speak such good English? Nevertheless it definitely kept me watching (although a few scenes made me turn away)

I love real stories like this. Quite an adventure he went through. Can't believe he survived all that. It's almost a miracle. He's inspiring in a way. These are stories worth making movies for.

I found this movie to be so predictable , I was really bored. The story is not new either , after all so many documentaries were done on the War in Vietnam and movies as well that it really doesn't affect us anymore. I really can't see why this film maker decided to make another one of these movies. The acting was okay but nothing extraordinary and neither was the cinematography anything that special. I was rather disappointed. I bet the book was much more interesting!

I thought the movie was great however the pro-war pro-American ending really bothered me. Why can't we see the real side of war? Why does everyone have to be the hero? Why do we have to glammerize killing people?

Easily the best movie of the summer so far. Way ahead of everything else. Highly recommended, you owe it to yourself to see this masterpiece.

This movie has great cinematography and a good plot. It waivers a little from the real story so, if you know it, it won't spoil the ending. Good summertime flick.

It's a good action/war prisoner movie and it will keep you on your toes, although a bit long and predictable. The acting gets better has the story moves along. Entertaining enough for an 8/10.

Very well told story and beautiful scenery (to watch, wouldn't want to be stuck there as a prisoner)

Although well made, I think I have seen variants of this story about a hundred times. Makes me wonder why they are making pro-war films at this stage of the Iraq "conflict"...

Great movie! Not Herzog's best for sure but still great compared to most of the crap that hits the big screen. The only thing I didn't like about the movie is that the story spent far too long in the prisoner camp and not long enough in the jungle. Don't go see the Transformers!

Amazing. Herzog back to narrative form. The acting and cinematography first rate. And a story you won't soon forget.

Christian Bale amazes me in everything he's in. This is no exception. I'm really stunned that this man has not won many awards over the short time he's acted as he's so versatile. Great cinematography and a stellar cast. Yes, we've seen this sort of film before but it's so much better when the actors are 'on'.

Good story line but the movie could have been so much better. Christian Bale's acting was wooden and mediocre. The star of the movie was Steve Zahn. Wait for it on DVD then if you feel like walking out half way through at least you can check out your own fridge.

Christin Bale Did an amazing job as did Steve Zahn. Truth be told the story drags on way too long without having much impact on the viewer. I always felt like I knew what was coming. The screenplay was nice as was the setting and the cast was great. It is just something we've seen countless times before.

Brilliant film by W. Herzog. Christian Bale, Jeremy Davies and Steve Zahn do an amazing job. Nice camera work and shots. Beautiful music. I recommend this film to people who can appreciate good cinema. It's nice to see directors like Herzog doing mainstream films as they usually add substance to that genre of films.

Herzog hits the mainstream with this standard actioner well shot and well acted if predictable. Christian Bale did another weight loss trick for this film to get the emaciated look he had in The Machinist. Supporting cast acquits themselves well. Just not very memorable due to its lack of political focus.

Well I am a big fan of Christian Bale but he seems to let me down everytime. Last movie I saw with him was Harsh Times and it sucked royal... The guy has skills but if your expecting something like Batman or The Prestige, your badly mistaken. Rent it if u must see Rescue Dawn but I will have warned you! Till next time Christian!
