Trailer & Poster One Sheet: Rescue Dawn

I’d blindly go into seeing this film based on three elements. Actor Christian Bale. Plots that revolve around survival and escapism. And finally, Werner Herzog. But after watching the trailer (click on the poster image below) I’ve got that sort of sour-this-doesn’t-look-too-good taste in my mouth. Here’s hoping that I’m wrong. Based ona true story, in the annals of history’s great escapes there is no other story like that of Dieter Dengler, the only American to ever break out of a POW camp in the impenetrable Laotian jungle. After months of plotting his getaway from a harrowing prison and a death-defying journey through some of the world’s fiercest wilderness, Dengler appeared at his first press conference looking like a dashing movie star and showing neither sentimentality nor bitterness – simply an indomitable will to survive that allowed him to triumph against impossible odds.
