GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
fivish-1 Who ever wrote the start and end captions made up some 'facts'. The facts are well known. It is astonishing that it made it to screen without being corrected. Between the captions is a very poor re-telling of the story which we all know and has been put to film many times a long time ago. Clearly there was a hidden motive behind the film, and its backers were happy to lose money for the propaganda value, little that it was.
azmarco-86516 Just spare your time and money... it's a communist propaganda disguised as multicultural BS
Michael Rivera This movie is the basic hostage rescue sort of movie (someone's captured, authorities make a plan, authorities execute the plan) but it does not play out that efficiently or good. Now, of course this is based off of real events, but for the sake of making a movie things must be altered and trimmed to be made interesting and cinematic-however, this movie seems too interested in showing the least intriguing parts. It's slow and it definitely FEELS slow despite not that long a runtime. Honestly this movie could've cut out a solid half hour of content. The acting is fine and the movie even looks very nice from a technical perspective, but the pacing is so off. Not to mention the most perplexing and unnecessary inclusion of dance scenes-this aspect really frustrated me after the second time, but why would you ruin the whole rescue op with it, after building it up for the whole movie? It didn't even feel pretentious, it just felt like the editor accidentally spliced dance footage into the film. This one's a real mixed bag. Don't go in expecting a cool climax. It's not much of a thriller because it drudges on with superficial politics and it's not much of a drama because there's no emotional investment. Disappointing.
alan-rudo The story of the hijacking and subsequent rescue mission was good enough on it's own. The character of Sarah and Batsheva Dance Company's performance distracted from the plot. Even the few IDF members, including Sarah's boyfriend, felt thrown in. The inter-cutting of the rescue and dance sequences were dizzying and distracting. This film is a great example of why less is more.
