Bale's lack of ambiguity points to the biggest limitation of a film that makes the grade as an adventure yarn by ignoring the most disturbing implications of its story.

The jungle has been very good to Werner Herzog.
August 13, 2007
Herzog builds this movie around another strong, eccentric performance from Bale, who is gaining a reputation for outsized talent and for downsized physicality.

Not the typical Chuck Norris movie, but just as rancid in its own "edgy" pretentious manner.

Although the film delivers the expected action and efficiently jacks up the suspense, longtime devotees of the director will undoubtedly miss the visionary qualities that have long distinguished his work.
April 28, 2014
Unlike a traditional Hollywood movie, Rescue Dawn follows the pacing and irony of real life. It is far from predictable and far from formulaic.
October 18, 2008
Rescue Dawn may not feel much like a Herzog movie, but it's a gripping real-life thriller.
September 17, 2010
Werner Herzog isn't interested in patriotism as product placement, like other directors might be. Though uncommonly somber, "Dawn" is still an engrossing prison-break film. It's not "The Great Escape." It's "The Sheer, Dumb Luck Escape."

But just as exciting -- maybe even more so, for those who love the medium and, especially, the uplift of the great-escape genre -- Rescue Dawn is a triumphant Werner Herzog movie.
July 27, 2007
Takes what could have been a mundane if well-made war story into something greater -- more harrowing, more hungry and more human.
