Ok, so it's not the greatest movie ever made. That does not stop it from being an enjoyable movie. If you like these kind of 80's style adventures, and like Kevin Dillon (who does just fine here) then this is worth seeing. Yes it is a FANTASY adventure, but so was the movie War Games. Granted, War Games was more serious and touched a deeper cord in people considering all the nuke proliferation and fear going on at the time. However, with N. Korea being such a pain in the neck these days, fun fantasy adventure movies like The Rescue are worth seeing again. As for myself, I'd like to see it go to dvd with a fun commentary by the actors and director.
