Once again Viggo and Colin prove they're among the best in the business. Farrell is so good at transforming himself and he's consistent here. The movie takes few if any liberties for the sake of drama but maintains a taught narrative throughout.
What the divers achieved in that rescue was nothing short of a miracle and kudos to Howard for crafting a movie that gives this story all the respect it's due.

A fantastic, no-nonsense re-telling of a real rescue incident! [ 78%]
Maybe, it helps that I didn't watch The Rescue prior to seeing the film, but Ron Howard's work is excellent nonetheless. The film doesn't waste any time getting to its "rescue mission" core, bringing in the likes of Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, and eventually Joel Edgerton to help tell this thrilling and utterly grounded tale. Howard ensures that the film doesn't forget where it is set, allowing the region's culture to breathe life into its Thai characters as opposed to showcasing just white sentiment.
The major highlight, as you expect, is the underwater cinematography (by Sayombhu Mukdeeprom) which plays an essential role in making us gasp for breath often and inducing claustrophobic feels. William Nicholson's script plays out chronologically, adding more gravity to the events. The melodrama is kept to a bare minimum, and the narrative is very matter-of-fact. Benjamin Wallfisch's score infuses itself into the fantastic sound design, making it indistinguishable from the sounds of water splashing, diving helmets hitting rock, and oxygen cylinders being dragged along. It's 2.5 hours long, and you already know the ending, but it's still one of the finest films this year.

The best movie I have seen on prime
This is by far the best movie I have seen on prime video. Good for them to put it up for us. A real movie that everyone can enjoy. And we all know there is a real happy ending. This is a movie about hero's not superhero just regular people being real life hero's.

i didnt watch the movie already . i just want to comment hero here
@drazen_g. Why you racist bruh??
is elon there too in the movie
isnt it the same as "The Rescue"
drazen_g that comment was the most racist thing ive seen all day
great movie based on a true story. no woke BS.
I thought it was a good film.
the real life hero in documentary movie
drazen_g it is how the story played out snowflake. Sorry you're butt hurt about the history of the story.
oh again WHITE MEN saved the day... LOL
@kawada_kun I believe I'm more qualified than you at knowing the meaning of words or reviewing movies and if I say the documentary is better without all the w0ke political cra9 then that's not only my opinion but a fact.
Top Gun please!
MOVIE FUKING SUCKS. Don't waste your time by watching it. Watch (the rescue) by national geographic instead its waaaay better believe me
must admit that movie is excelent
10/10 good movie
dont watch this movie its a fcuking lie
fcking movie i ever saw
Excellent movie. I followed the story in the news but not properly. The movie educated me on all the other cogs that were moving to help with the rescue. Experts in the field, International assistance, innovative and dangerous techniques, locals manually assisting in diverting tonnes of water and locals sacrificing their liveliehoods. Obviously a lot more going on but honestly such a good movie
Those with claustrophobia should not watch.
documentary is way better then that thai version of moovie.rhanks for upload
What is woke about this movie? Can someone explain?
10/10 and a highly recommended movie for everyone.
excellent movie don't understand why the negative comments.
EXCELLENT MOVIE !!!!!!!!
dplace65: neither is this film. Learn the meaning of the term before using it everywhere for no reason whatsoever.
The Rescue by Nat Geo is far better and not woke.
Thanks!
ok it's 'woke' but its watchable if you can believe that, still only 6/10 if I'm being honest, but you can watch it because its a little different, I'd like to see more of this type of thing tbh , most I can say for it is that its a bit 'out there' this bit isnt woke, but just good stuff.
does it include commentary from elon musk and the lawsuit?
thailand? where's that?
