One Paragraph Review: Rescue Dawn

I hope you haven't read Karly's review of this movie because I'm just going to copy what she said. The pace of this movie is very slow and leaves you wanting more development of the characters. There is really no explanation of anything. I get that this (true) story is an amazing one, but I just didn't feel it. If the movie doesn't care to invest in its own characters, why should I? I will admit, I did find the jungle scenes strangely beautiful. The nicest thing I can say about this movie is that it made me want to watch other, better Vietnam-era movies.
