If you're expecting a well written, emotional an inspiring movie about saving refugees from crimes against humanity, then look elsewhere.

Right from the start the movie takes no shame in turning this into a fan tribute to Chris Evans. Had he worn his Captain America suit, it would have been the exact same movie. Next to that, 60% of conversations in this movie are done through dumb stares. Either that, or Chris Evans doing out of place workouts.

Then comes the cliché introduction of what can only be described as a heist movie recruitment montage. A woman i will call discount Jennifer Lawrence, who apparently is a trained ninja that manages to scan documents from a briefcase in 1979 while being on a plane... yup. There's also a playboy nudist who smack his dick against friends, and an assassin that kills someone at 'Station Centraal, Amsterdam' (Bad dutch, it's Centraal Station Amsterdam), yet kills NO ONE during the actual mission. Oh and there's a whiny guy that acts all grumpy. Well, that's the heist... i mean rescue crew.

The movie does a poor job of flashing out the actual turmoils that refugees face. They show executions, yet not the raping, the cutting of limbs, burning of people and war children. Instead, the movie shows a heavily romanticised version of the refugees journey, focused on 5 people that get tanned while transporting people. Quite an insult to the actual turmoils.

It's an underwhelming movie, with no interesting characters. Also, major plotholes! Somehow the Sudan military becomes telepathing and knows straight away that the refugees are at some abondoned airfield! It's freaking **** give this movie a 5/10.

This is an exciting and historic film, and sick politics are not appreciating this great film, which only means that "professional" reviews mean NOTHING! This film is a 10 out of 10, a must see ! It is great !

Great film! Very educational, it hilights the plight of the Ethiopian Jews and how Israel came to their aid. There will be a lot of backlash coming from the left with all the anti Israel talk but don’t let it stop you from watching this! ItGreat film!

I would recommend this movie. Expand

Good actors, that’s what drew me in, story had potential. However it fell super flat. I fell asleep 2/3 in. Lost interest very early. There is no excitement, not inspiring...just very eeeh.

Personally I applaud that Netflix gives an audience to many films that frankly wouldn't have achieved distribution or better opportunities to be seen but their quality control is a disaster and it seems that they're only interested inPersonally I applaud that Netflix gives an audience to many films that frankly wouldn't have achieved distribution or better opportunities to be seen but their quality control is a disaster and it seems that they're only interested in cramming their catalog in order to increase it more and more, but if they don't begin to choose in a better way which projects should be in their service, Netflix will only mean low cinematographic quality, a title that many of their films already carry.

And let's be honest, with the exception of how much is expected of The Irishman, they have no other memorable film scheduled for this year.

Many people will only see this film because of Chris Evans and that hardly means anything.

The Red Sea Diving resort cannot seem to get past wanna be status. The film has a very hollow core and I think it comes down to mediocre writing and directing. Chris Evans is also a weak link in chain. Evans never made me feel his performanceThe Red Sea Diving resort cannot seem to get past wanna be status. The film has a very hollow core and I think it comes down to mediocre writing and directing. Chris Evans is also a weak link in chain. Evans never made me feel his performance was authentic and when he had emotionally powerful scenes It just looked like acting. The rest of the cast is great and I loved them all. This is just plain and simply a good film that just is pushed down with mediocrity. Expand

Chris Evans as Captain Isroamerica. Do we really need the daily dose of propaganda? Personally no, not at all. And for those who have doubts that Evans can't play better roles, I recommend "Puncture" (Kassen brothers, 2011).

I thought the characters did an excellent job getting the audience invested in their mission. There were many edge of the seat moments. I would definitely watch it again!

Es una película muy entretenida y no merece la mala recepción que obtuvo; la trama es buena y las actuaciones son decentes; los judíos han sufrido mucho durante varios siglos y merecen respeto.
