Rescue Dawn, why the ultra-limited release?

saw this yesterday...extremely underwhelming. I expected more from the director of Aquirre The Wrath of God...a perfectly fine POW movie that coulda been a TV movie of the Week...not memorable in the least

I think you should definitely go see it. I personally loved it and found it to be a very moving and powerful film. While I wouldn't put this up there with Aguire and Fitzcaraldo, this is definitely a outstanding film with Chritian Bale yet again turning in another top notch performance. I just saw it today, and am still thinking about it a good 6 hours afterwards. This is one of those films that really plays up the human condition and what people will go through to achieve what they truly want. The film really takes a life of its own in the last 1/3 of it and is also the most important part
