फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
I found this movie very moving, and well documented. Indeed, it is a documentary.
Even on films, bias against Israel is obvious. I saw marks as high as 8.1 and 5 are given to horrible french movies, which are the worst in the film industry. French, besides naked and "object" women, have no imagination, and still they are given the best marks. Incredible.
The story of this Israeli spy is very informative of at which length would Israelis go to protect their citizens against vicious attacks from the neighboring Arabs. This movie renders with utmost reality the talent exercised by this Israeli spy to hiding his activities to his wife and whole family.
And his whole life as a spy is incredible because he didn't chose to be a spy and it was not his trade at all. That shows the love Israelis have for their tiny country due to the fact they endanger their own lives and the lives of their families, without a thought, to help their country. I believe this movie is very well directed and played, especially when we consider the size and the date of Israel's creation: 1948. There was nothing but sand and desert.
My marks for this movie is 8.5
In light of that, it is not beyond reason to accept that an Israeli born in Syria could pass for a Syrian Arab, and so infiltrate El Fattah, among other splinter groups vying for power in Syria, thereby obtaining information to help Israeli defense. I found it tougher to swallow that this spy would promptly find a very senior military figure among the Syrian rebel forces vying to topple the government. Even tougher to believe that he would become his chum without attracting any suspicions.
Just as Eli Cohen was picked by Mossad because he did not look like a spy and had a low profile life, so he makes it as a smartly dressed businessman who somehow ingratiates his way to learning a great deal about the array and position of Syrian forces ready to attack Israeli kibbutzin.
Acting is strictly standard and less, only Eli Wallach catches your eye. Cohen's good looking wife, long suffering over hubby's lengthy absences, looks too amateurish.
Anyway, nothing much happens by way of action. 5/10.
The most interesting actor here is not Eli Wallach, who is always of extreme interest, nor John Shea as the lead, who is also absolutely credible in excellence, but Sason Gabay as the Syrian general whom he befriends and betrays. When his treason is beyond repair and nothing more can save him, the general still speaks with him, they still have a friendly conversation, the general has every reason to hate him and shoot him down without flinching, but he stays self-controlled and even grants the traitor his last wishes, giving the impression that he actually respects his former best friend who turned traitor more than hen can respect the general. Sason Gabay makes an almost unforgettable character of cool detachment in the most intolerable possible situation of a betrayed relationship.
The story is true and has the character of a genuine documentary.

- गूफ़When Yacov shows the picture of then-Colonel Haled to Elie, he correctly pronounces his name as "Jamal", which is the Syrian pronunciation, but when the Colonel introduces himself to Elie, he (the Colonel) pronounces it as "Gamal" which is wrong because that is the Egyptian pronunciation and he is Syrian.
