MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
toaddie49-255-239544 Movies are starting to let go of the media manipulations of political motivation, while yes this movie did have the awkward dance routines the rest of the story attempted to look at how the event looked like from the perspective of the people like many in the world today that are tired of political oppression and liesI would like to point out a movie mistake though, when she called home on the payphone the international code she entered at the beginning of dialing would have put her through to Afghanistan, intentional or coincidental oversight?
Sam Smith I thought the actors were superb, and the cinematography was excellent. Having seen the other three movies on the subject, this was the really the best. I can see how the Netanyhu family did not want it made, as it destroys the myth of Yoni Netanyhu, the hero (the basis of younger brother Bibi's political career).
Jaime Gonzales I guess I don't understand the need to insert dance scenes into a movie that is overtly sympathetic to terrorism. It seems that this "take" on actual events is a way for people who agree with terrorists and their methods to demonstrate to the viewer that terrorists are good people.Kill innocent men, women and children? Sure, as long as it is for a politically correct cause. Kill the terrorists who are targeting and killing your civilian population? Those people may not be so good, and people on their side probably deserve to die.Anyone who thinks that the murder of innocent persons is a good thing has a seriously disturbing mental illness.Anyone. Who thinks that. Hitler thought like this. Stalin thought like this. Pol Pot thought like this. Apparently, many in Hollywood think like this.
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.
