A beautiful, claustrophobic and emotional film,
Based on the true story that took the world by storm, "The Rescue of Tham Luang" is a moving account of the rescue of a men's football team from a cave in Thailand after they were trapped by dangerous rain and floods. A rescue mission is mounted in Thailand, where a group of boys and their soccer coach are trapped in an underground cave system that is flooding.
A beautiful, claustrophobic and emotional film, it seemed to be so realistic, sincere, in the pain, in individual human weaknesses and in the courage to do the impossible, running the risk of being held responsible if everything went wrong, such as, for example, the fact that they were sedated the boys, but ultimately ended up saving everyone, two volunteers in the rescue died, out of the 5 thousand who helped, from 17 different countries... - masonfisk - 20 June 2023
A GRIPPING TRUE STORY...!
An Amazon Prime original from last year based on real events where 13 Thai nationals (a soccer team & their coach) were stuck in a waterlogged cave (they went there in celebration of a recent win) as torrential rains continue to make a traditional rescue a forgone conclusion. Enter a pair of cave divers, Oscar nominees Viggo Mortensen & Colin Farrell, who do manage to reach the trapped teens but due to the arduous nature of the initial assault to their site they know it's a matter of time before they'll die unless they come up w/a solution to transpo the individuals to safety. In comes an anesthesiologist, played by Joel Edgerton, who will put each rescued out, giving them shots along the way to insure the accompanying diver will bring their charge to freedom. Eking out the same results he achieved w/the seminal Apollo 13, director Ron Howard makes historical incidents come to life in a dramatic setting even though we know the outcome of the events so much so the viewer becomes so engrossed w/what's transpiring they forget the ending has already passed. Kudos to all the local talent in the film who score as many points as the leads.
