Summary - Perfect 5.0
This movie was amazing. While it lacked just a little in scripting, the lack thereof was minimal and MUST be overlooked in light of the incredible dedication to the art of acting shown by the main characters. Inspired by a true story about a Vietnam prisoner of war, this movie shows the trials and tribulations that Lt. Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale) went through to escape and eventually get back into American freedom.
Acting - Perfect 5.0
Christian Bale and Steve Zahn lead the cast with unbelievable performances, putting their bodies through some insane shit to achieve the realism that this movie attains. Without a doubt, this movie required more physical preparation from its cast than any movie I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning. Wow.
