Review
The Rescue tells the real 2018 Thai cave rescue story with zero woke elements. The movie shows rescuers from different countries working together on the actual mission with no identity politics or forced messaging. No girlboss rebellion or activist sermons appear anywhere. The entire narrative stays locked on the heroism and cave diving operation.
