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.
