Paulscoconutass Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 What a pile of poop, very long and the dialogue was often cheesy (one of the characters even hints at it). Didn't really enjoy it at all, although in fairness it was following one side but managed to stay neutral regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict. Stupendously dumbing down of locations and the conflict in general. Very, Very gorey bits, especially the shootout in the Olympic stadium/Airport.4/10Anyone else seen it.

Rachie Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Naw, and prolly won't. Can't say it was on my must-see list anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Temple Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I saw it yesterday, and I thought after about the first hour or so that it was just another Frederik Forsyth-style thriller. But it got much better when the homeland versus family dilemma was introduced. I was glad that was its central theme, rather than moral dilemma of "an eye for an eye" which is a well-worn one.When was the cheesy dialogue hinted at? I didn't notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NARC Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I enjoyed it - it sure was thrilling. I didn't like the vague sort of apologism drifting in at the end, although I concede it would be on the mind of every retiring terrorist. The love explosion relation to the helicopter shootings was completely the wrong image to use, though.I guess it leaves me feeling neutral at the end of the day too, in historical terms. Although the cobbled-together group of nationalities in the film served to reinforce that Judaism is NOT a nationality, and therefore in my eyes does not have a valid claim to statehood.

Larsen B Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 It ain't panny. I'd even say it avoids the usual degree of Spielberg sentimentality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I enjoyed it, I did enjoy how they manage to keep their stance neutral aswell as following the Jewish group also.The scene where both guys from the groups discuss the war between Palestine and Israel was probably my favourite.
