Werner Herzog's Rescue Dawn is a fictionalized account of the true story of an American pilot shot down over Laos, taken to a POW camp, and eventually rescued during the Vietnam conflict.  It's a premise we've all seen before many times over, and unfortunately it brings nothing new to the table.  It's not a bad movie, but it's not a good one either. I hate movies like this, because you can't praise it or make fun of it.  It just sits there.  Everything technical is mundane and mediocre.  Nothing stands out whatsoever.  I can't recommend it, but if it's your cup of tea, it's your cup of tea.IMDb link: http://imdb.com/title/tt0462504/
