United States	Matt Zoller Seitz The New York Times	"A satisfying genre picture that challenges the viewer's expectations."	POS
United States	Scott Bowles USA Today	"As prison-break movies go, 'Rescue' ranks among the best. But in terms of what gave Dengler and his co-captives the resilience to survive (...) we get little more than military jingoism and some surprisingly simple stereotypes.(...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
