I'm not going to put a spoiler alert on this because this event occurred in '76, so obviously everyone should know how it ends.
The movie opens with this modern dance number, and I was immediately confused. I wondered if I'd sat down in the wrong movie. It didn't make sense to me at all in the beginning. From the beginning, I was trying to figure out which side the movie was taking. A lot of the movie consisted of the Prime Minister of Israel and his cabinet trying to decide what to do. I like political thrillers, so I didn't mind the film going in that direction.
I like watching anything with Daniel Bruhl, and he did well in this film. Denis Menochet was a nice surprise in this film, he was excellent as the flight engineer. I had to look up his name, because the only other film I've seen Menochet in was Assassin's Creed, and I'll always remember him because he delivered a few savage lines.
Now, back to this dancing: it annoyed me, UNTIL THE END. Holy crap did it work when it was cut in with scenes of the IDF coming in. There are a collective gasp in the theater. It's only for these last scene that I rated it very good vs good.
