Good movie but grossly overrated
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Unfortunately for all of us, in this film that is inspired by the true events of the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight en route from Tel Aviv to Paris, there is no Israeli commandos to rescue us.Despite action movie director José Padilha (Elite Squad) at the helm in "7 Days in Entebbe" there is simply no life to be found. Basically, it lacks any real connection to the people partaking on either side. Surprisingly, the most involving dramatic strand is not with the imperiled innocent families and their gun-toting captors, but inside the chambers of government in Israel. Neither a rousing military showcase nor a barbed commentary on the Middle East, fim is just unsatisfying and forgettable. 5/10.
What a disappointment. For some unknown and unstated reason alot of time was spent showcasing a group of dancer jumping and stirring around in chairs to some apparent Jewish song. Totally out of place and rather irritating while taking time from telling the actual story of what happened at Entebbe. The interplay between Peres and Rabin was contrived and made Rabin, a decorated former general seem weak and only concerned with retaining the office of Prime Minister. Peres was portrayed as a war hawk. Yoni Netanyahu was shown only briefly and Dora Block and her fate only mentioned in the end write-up. You won't learn anything much about the raid on Entebbe from this movie. Try the Charles Bronson one called Raid on Entebbe made many years ago.
A historical film and incredible actions. I found it well told, but it did not have the glamor, I think it lacked enchantment. Our great director making a movie against your style. In that being, I think it is a given step, we must have other productions. But we had this record of dreamy actions by young people who went down the wrong path. This movie brings great reflections.The filmmaker is the brilliant Brazilian José Padilha, who is working in the mega cinema, in the country Hollywood, this director innovated and agitated our cinema with his current films and police genre, he made the great Elite Troop 1 and 2 (2006 and 2019), also did in Hollywood, which I liked too last Roboccop (2014) and the current story that shook our country, Federal Police, The Law Is For All (2017), which became a series of Netfilx, called Mechanism ( 2018), great too, let's wait for the new sequences of it. As protagonists we have the great Rosamund Pike the English actress, who has done among other Exemplary Girl (2014) and Pride & Prejudice (2005) and also has an actor who I really like the Spanish Daniel Brühl who made among other Inglourious Basterds (2009) and Goodbye, Lenin! (2003).
Sympathizes with terrorists. Also the director thought he would be creative and mix in a dance scene with the turning point of the film but it ruined the movie.
