Factual errors: During his captivity, Deiter is shown wearing his gold wedding band - something no American pilot would do. In case of capture, it gives away more than name rank and s/n - not to mention both the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese regulars appreciated gold as much as the next enemy (or ally) and likely wouldn't have let him keep it out of the kindness of their hearts and deep feelings for his family ties. moreSoundtrack:

I saw this at the world premiere last night, and it was really great. Not my favorite Herzog movie, but overall his most well rounded one and definitely his most mainstream. It has a chance of doing quite well at the box office. The acting is all around terrific, and the camera work beautiful.
Most Herzog movies seem like these flawed masterpieces; movies that are worth watching for several moments of intense brilliance. Rescue Dawn had these moments of brilliance, and the rest seemed like a very well made thriller / action movie. However, it didn't quite pack the same punch as the best moments of Fitzcarraldo or Aguirre. Still, I gave it 5/5 on my voting ballot.
