Fresh and Exciting

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The story is decent, but the dance sequences really are distracting. Also the final rescue mission is almost a casual sequence in the movie. They leave out the 3 passengers that died and the one Amin murdered.

I guess I don't understand the need to insert dance scenes into a movie that is overtly sympathetic to terrorism. It seems that this "take" on actual events is a way for people who agree with terrorists and their methods to demonstrate to the viewer that terrorists are good people.Kill innocent men, women and children? Sure, as long as it is for a politically correct cause. Kill the terrorists who are targeting and killing your civilian population? Those people may not be so good, and people on their side probably deserve to die.Anyone who thinks that the murder of innocent persons is a good thing has a seriously disturbing mental illness.Anyone. Who thinks that. Hitler thought like this. Stalin thought like this. Pol Pot thought like this. Apparently, many in Hollywood think like this.

This movie is the basic hostage rescue sort of movie (someone's captured, authorities make a plan, authorities execute the plan) but it does not play out that efficiently or good. Now, of course this is based off of real events, but for the sake of making a movie things must be altered and trimmed to be made interesting and cinematic-however, this movie seems too interested in showing the least intriguing parts. It's slow and it definitely FEELS slow despite not that long a runtime. Honestly this movie could've cut out a solid half hour of content. The acting is fine and the movie even looks very nice from a technical perspective, but the pacing is so off. Not to mention the most perplexing and unnecessary inclusion of dance scenes-this aspect really frustrated me after the second time, but why would you ruin the whole rescue op with it, after building it up for the whole movie? It didn't even feel pretentious, it just felt like the editor accidentally spliced dance footage into the film. This one's a real mixed bag. Don't go in expecting a cool climax. It's not much of a thriller because it drudges on with superficial politics and it's not much of a drama because there's no emotional investment. Disappointing.

The story of the hijacking and subsequent rescue mission was good enough on it's own. The character of Sarah and Batsheva Dance Company's performance distracted from the plot. Even the few IDF members, including Sarah's boyfriend, felt thrown in. The inter-cutting of the rescue and dance sequences were dizzying and distracting. This film is a great example of why less is more.
