Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

TedMichaelMor This is a terrific movie. I probably ought to rate it higher than I do. The use of clichés in the film, on the other hand, might have lowered the score I gave it.Even though most of us know the Entebbe story well (that is the spoiler), I found the anxiety the movie produces intense. I almost felt a need to use a nitro patch.One jarring note is recorded as a flaw in continuity: The opening is of the actual Air France Airbus; however, subsequently, the movie uses a Boeing 707 with inaccurate Air France colours. Otherwise, realism dominates the narrative.The Hebrew version makes the movie feel more authentic than the English version does. One does not have to know a language to appreciate hearing it in a film. The film uses Hebrew, English, German, and Arabic in a great mix.I adore Sybil Danning. As always, Klaus Kinsiki is wonderful.

dreamdemon-1 It seems that just after the events, the subject was so hot that is went on to be over exploited in both small and wide screen movies. Unfortunately, all movies are near-sighted and tell the story from a single point of view, the Israeli one, which seems to be deemed equivalent to the entire world's point of view. When a movie recounts historical events, I would like that movie to exploit the subject to a reasonable depth and keep the circumstances realistic. I have held the same problem against the more recent '300' movie, as well as others and this happened with most movies that have one side against another: simply telling the world "we're better than the others" isn't enough, this has to be shown from a fair and direct comparison that the spectator can relate to.

motty The movie depicts the true operation to release hostages in Uganda by Israeli commandos. The movie focuses on the leader of the operation - who ends up as the only casualty - very much like a french movie.The movie uses 4(!) different languages (Hebrew, English, German and Arabic) that lend to the credibility and authenticity of the movie. The plot has good pace and does not let you dose off for a second. The story is "classic" and powerful.

themicah Not that I've seen all that many Israeli action movies, but it's definitely the bets one I've seen. Yes, this movie is dated. It relies on stereotypes and is full of cliches like the "oh-no!" quick-zoom. The dialogue is sometimes silly and there are a variety of flubs, both in continuity and historical accuracy. But, it's fun! From the music (which is so wonderfully 70's) to the memorably cheesy lines, and of course the sheer audacity of the mission that gives the movie its title, it all makes for an exciting and surprisingly emotional film. It's also the only film I know of where most scenes were shot twice so it could be released in two different languages. There is a Hebrew version out there (recently released on DVD, but hard to find) and an English version (first released on VHS and Beta in 1984, after which there may or may not have been a subsequent 1991 VHS re-release). And neither version is dubbed! Gotta love it.
