Decent film, that seems to be getting poor reviews because it is too "pro-hijackers" or "isreal negative" by some, and by others annoying by the inter cutting of an interpretative dance routine. I found issue with neither area, but the filmDecent film, that seems to be getting poor reviews because it is too "pro-hijackers" or "isreal negative" by some, and by others annoying by the inter cutting of an interpretative dance routine. I found issue with neither area, but the film did lack the explosive pacing that viewers come to expect from plane hostage films, and it also had some mediocre dialogue at times, and did not really shed much new insight onto the genre, except maybe examining the conflicting reasons some of the hijackers may have had, which was one of the more interest aspects of the film.

The film is really told from the hijackers perspective, and I think it is pretty neutral, doesn't take sides, which keeps it cool, and detached to some degree. It is fairly procedural, which slows down the pace for much of it as well. Munich was a superior film about a similar subject matter, but this film explores more of the hijackers emotions, and adds a slight element. The actors were also pretty good, despite a so-so script, and the compelling subject matter, and interpretive dance stuff, while over-handed, worked as well. Good, but not great, film, especially worth seeing if you are not familiar with the events that occurred. Just don't expect a riveting action packed hijack film for the duration, nor an Oscar type moral quandry such as Munich. It is a decent film that balances things from the hijackers perspective mixed with the procedural response by the Isrealis.… Expand

I thought the acting was very good, especially Rosamund Pike, who was able to show much more nuance and emotion than the other actors, although that may have had more to do with the script than anything else. The big mistake in the film was the modern dance number that was repeated over and over again and was irritating and intrusive, except for the final time it was shown when the music (not the dancing) added to the emotions of the moment. Perhaps it was supposed to suggest Greek tragedy, but all it did was distract the audience and break the tension.… Expand

I opted for Entebbe bcs i'm not a teenager to watch Player No 1...and i was nicely surprised! The movie depicted correctly bombing 70's, with crazy Germans, Arabs and "you-do-not-f-with-us" Jews...the plot is well known but what really is eyeI opted for Entebbe bcs i'm not a teenager to watch Player No 1...and i was nicely surprised!
